Decision type: Key

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Wards affected: Alperton;

Notice of proposed decision first published: 17/03/2022

This decision will be taken under urgency procedures.

Reason for urgency:
The reason that the urgency procedures are required is because the GLA grant award for this scheme is dependent upon achieving a start on site before June 2022. This means that completion of the deal between Brent and the developer must take place before then. It is not possible to wait until Cabinet in May and risk the loss of the GLA grant for this scheme.

Whilst it is possible to provide at least 5 days advance notice of the decision, it has not been possible to provide the full period of notice (including that the report will need to be considered as part exempt) and prior to this month (March 2022) it was not anticipated that Brent would be in a position to purchase these homes.

Anticipated restriction: Part exempt  - View reasons

Decision due: 11 Apr 2022 by Cabinet
