Additional documents: Decision: Having considered an officer report and a presentation by the Cabinet Member for Housing, Councillor Damien Egan, the Cabinet agreed that:
(1) the progress update on the New Homes, Better Places Programme be noted
(2) the design development and consultation which has been carried out on the Mayfield Hostel Site be noted;
(3) Lewisham Homes should proceed with the design development of the scheme, and submit a planning application to deliver approximately 47 new Council homes and non-residential uses on some of the ground floor;
(4) the budget as set out be approved; and
(5) the approach to obtaining vacant possession of the Mayfield Hostel Site be noted. Minutes: This report was described as late owing to delays in collating all the information required, including from third parties and other stakeholders, so as to provide Mayor & Cabinet with the most up to date detail possible.
The report was said to be urgent and could not wait until the next meeting of the Mayor & Cabinet on July 19 2017 because the decisions to proceed, and to cease letting the Mayfield Hostel, need to be made as soon as possible ahead of the scheduled submission of a planning application in July.
Where a report is received less than 5 clear days before the date of the meeting at which the matter is being considered, then under the Local Government Act 1972 Section 100(b)(4) the Chair of the Committee can take the matter as a matter of urgency if he is satisfied that there are special circumstances requiring it to be treated as a matter of urgency. These special circumstances have to be specified in the minutes of the meeting.
