Decision details

Received a report providing an update on the ongoing work to bring forward the demolition and redevelopment of the Cadiz Court site.  The redevelopment of Cadiz Court represents an opportunity to replace the existing tower block with a high quality residential scheme on a key gateway site in the Borough.

Agreed, in order to provide high quality attractive housing and excellent public realm on a high profile gateway site in to the Borough, to:

1.  The revised scheme to provide 60 mixed, affordable, tenure homes as set out in paragraph 2.3 of the report, as the basis for the final scheme development work and planning application;

2.  Forego the capital receipt for the land value for the site of Cadiz Court and for this to be applied to the development cost of the scheme, less all project costs incurred; and

3.  Explore the viability of using the hoardings erected around the site for advertising space in order to generate income.

Councillor P Waker placed on record his thanks to the relevant officers who had been involved in the proposal.  Councillor Smith returned thanks to Councillors L Waker and P Waker (Village Ward Councillors) and Councillor Kallar (Portfolio Holder) for their involvement in bringing about the redevelopment proposals.
