Received a report seeking to adopt the revised Planning Brief for Axe Street Car Park as Supplementary Planning Guidance.

Agreed, in order to pave the way for the development of new affordable homes allied to the Town Square development, to:

1. The revised Axe Street Town Square Phases 1 and 2 Planning Brief as Supplementary Planning Guidance; and

2. Enter into partnership with East Thames Housing Group, as the Council’s preferred developer for 100% affordable housing on the Axe Street site, subject to the agreement of the ‘Housing Partnership’ (the Housing Corporation and English Partnerships).
