Support to Newlon Housing Trust in respect of the proposed redevelopment of New Barnsbury Estate
21/04/2022 - Support to Newlon Housing Trust in respect of the proposed redevelopment of New Barnsbury Estate
AGREED RECOMMENDATIONS
Reasons for decision – as set out in the report, where it is not possible to voluntarily purchase leasehold interests, it is in the public interest to make a CPO.
Other options considered – Voluntary acquisition of the leasehold properties is the preferred option. A CPO should only be employed as an option of last resort, and only when all other opportunities to secure the redevelopment of the site have been fully explored and exhausted.
Conflicts of interest / dispensations granted – none
