Harriott, Apsley, Pattison (HAP) Houses Regeneration Scheme Update
Decision Maker: Cabinet
Decision status: Recommendations Approved
Is Key decision?: Yes
Is subject to call in?: Yes
Purpose:
In March 2022, planning consent was granted for the
redevelopment of Harriott, Apsley and Pattison Houses, known as
HAP, for the delivery of 412 new homes and the reprovision of the
existing community space. The scheme will provide high quality
replacement homes for existing residents, new council homes for
families in housing need and new homes for sale to help fund the
scheme.
This report will provide an update on the progress towards the
delivery of the estate regeneration, including decant status and
leaseholder buy-backs and seek approval for the preferred delivery
model with a developer partner. A further report will be presented
to Cabinet in early 2023 to seek approval on the use of Compulsory
Purchase Order (CPO) powers to empower the Council to acquire all
land and property interests within the site boundary (‘Order
Land’) necessary to facilitate the delivery of the scheme and
s203 of the Housing and Planning Act 2016.
