Purpose:
To seek approval (in accordance with the delegation made by Cabinet on 13 August 2018) to the grant agreement for the Housing Infrastructure Fund (HIF) bid relating to Northwick Park.
Decision:
To approve, having consulted with the Director of Finance and Leader of the Council, the detail of the grant agreement with the GLA for the Housing Infrastructure Fund bid relating to Northwick Park.

Signing the grant agreement will enable the Council to access £10m of HIF grant funding for the provision of infrastructure including site access works to unlock the strategic site.
