DECLARATIONS OF
INTEREST MADE FOR THIS ITEM:
 
None
 
RESOLVED:
 
That the Cabinet Member for Housing and
Planning (Deputy Leader):
 
1.   
Approved, pursuant to the Council’s Standing Orders (CSO)
2.01.1C and in line with the CSO Statement of Principles 0.08, the
appointment of Contractor A, identified in the exempt part of the
report, to enter into a JCT Design and
Build 2016 Contract with Haringey’s amendments.

2.   
Approved the use of the Council’s powers under Section 203 of
the Housing and Planning Act 2016 to override easements and other
third?party rights and interests infringed upon by the Dawlish and
Scales Roads development.

3.   
Approved entering the contract at the contract sum set out in the
Dawlish and Scales Roads Exempt Report.

4.   
Approved, pursuant to CSO 16.04, the issuance of a letter of intent
as set out in the Dawlish and Scales Roads Exempt Report.

5.   
Approved the contingencies and on?costs associated with the
delivery of the scheme.

6.   
Delegated authority to the Delivery Director, after consultation
with the Director of Finance and Resources and the Cabinet Member
for Housing and Planning, to make payments of compensation for
genuine claims of third?party rights affected by the Dawlish and
Scales Roads development and payable under the relevant approval
within the existing scheme of delegation.
 

Reasons for the decision:
 
The site known as Dawlish and Scales Roads had
been approved by Cabinet on 21 January 2020 for inclusion in the
Council’s Housing Delivery Programme.
Planning permission had been granted in March
2023 for two new houses under planning reference HGY/2022/2000.
 
These Council homes would contribute to the
Council’s commitment to build 3,000 new high?quality Council
homes by 2031.
 
Alternative options
considered:
 
The option not to develop the site for housing
purposes had been considered but was rejected, as it would not have
supported the Council’s commitment to deliver a new
generation of Council homes.
 
The build contract had been procured via the
approved London Construction Programme (LCP) Dynamic Purchasing
System, as recommended by the Strategic Procurement Team. The
alternative options—procurement via a restricted tender, a
competitive tender on the open market, or another procurement
route—were not recommended, as they were not considered to
provide the best value.
