Cancellation of Cabinet Approvals Regarding Disposal of Council Sites for Self-Build
PDF 226 KBThe Mayor has reviewed the Council’s
previous decision to set up an Affordable Self-Build Programme
(“the Programme”) for affordable community-led
self-build and to dispose of up to four small Council-owned sites
for the purposes of enabling self-build by selected community
groups.
After due consideration of all the implications the Mayor has asked
officers to halt this Programme, and instead to prioritise use of
the Sites for the direct delivery of Council homes for rent, or to
pursue alternative delivery routes that will maximise affordable /
social rented units on the sites.
