(2) delegated authority be granted to the Executive Director for Resources and Regeneration in consultation with the Head of Law:
(i). to negotiate the terms of and enter into a Compulsory Purchase Indemnity Agreement with Lendlease, together with a Parent Company Guarantee (or other satisfactory agreement providing appropriate security for performance by Lendlease of its obligations under the Compulsory Purchase Indemnity Agreement), such terms to include disposal by the Council of the land acquired to Lendlease pursuant to Section 233 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990;

(iii). subject to the Compulsory Purchase Indemnity Agreement and Parent Company Guarantee (or other satisfactory agreement providing appropriate security as referred to in recommendation i) being entered into), to take all necessary and appropriate steps to secure the making, confirmation and implementation of the Compulsory Purchase Order (CPO) including the publication and service of all notices and promotion of the Council’s case at any Public Inquiry, including but not limited to the steps described below; (iv). to make any amendments, deletions, or additions to the draft Order Map and/or draft Schedules to the CPO so as to include and describe all interests in land required to facilitate the carrying out of the Scheme;

(ix). in the event the CPO is confirmed by the Secretary of State (or by the Council if given power to do so), to complete all necessary statutory procedures and to take steps to implement the ... view the full decision text for item 3. Minutes: The report was presented by the Deputy Mayor who outlined the authority’s involvement with the scheme and commended the recommendations to the Mayor.
The representative of the Executive Director for Resources and Regeneration advised the Mayor Planning consent had been obtained; the scheme was deemed viable and LendLease were able to deliver the scheme. He outlined the social and environmental benefits of the proposals and concluded these were very positive.
The representative of the Executive Director for Resources and Regeneration advised the Mayor that a replacement Appendix 3, the CPO Plan, had been tabled. He drew the Mayor’s attention to several corrections to the report. Paragraph 5.1 should have made reference to ‘London Power Networks Ltd’ rather than ‘Northern Power Networks Ltd’. In paragraph 9.1 ‘2013’ should be deleted. Paragraphs 6.2 & 6.6 needed to make clear all interests in Phase 1 had to be acquired before works commenced.
The Mayor asked if any residential properties were involved and was told there were none. He asked the Head of Planning if a CPO was envisaged at the time when Planning Permission was given. She said this area was a strategic site allocation and a delivery strategy including land assembly requirements had been reported factually.
The Mayor sought an assurance that every reasonable effort had been made to achieve acquisition via negotiation. He was informed all expectations had been met in that regard and that efforts were still continuing. The Mayor stressed he expected efforts to reach agreement to continue.
Councillor Millbank queried the level of affordable housing in the proposals as she thought this was not high enough. The Mayor sought clarification that planning application issues were not valid in a CPO consideration. The Head of Law stated planning matters were for the Planning Committee and the Mayor should take into account the relevant matters referred to in the report. Once internal council processes had been completed the approval of the Secretary of State would still be required.
In conclusion the Mayor said this was not a decision to be taken lightly. He said he had been persuaded that case was strong and all reasonable efforts had been made to reach agreement. He was satisfied land assembly was essential and would ensure the scheme was viable. He asked that further efforts to negotiate a settlement should be made.
Having considered an officer report and a presentation by the Deputy Mayor, Councillor Alan Smith, the Mayor, for the reasons set out in the report:
RESOLVED that:
(1) a Compulsory Purchase Order be made pursuant to powers under Sections 226(1)(a) of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 (in accordance with the procedures in the Acquisition of Land Act 1981) for the acquisition of the land shown coloured pink on the plan attached, save for the interests of the Council and Lendlease;
