Minutes:
The Cabinet Member Housing introduced the report which sought approval in principle to the construction of 29 new units on a brownfield site at Monkscroft Villas, Princess Elizabeth Way and to go out to tender to seek bids from potential contractors to build the development. The housing tenure mix was outlined in the scheme details at paragraph 2 of the report and there would potentially be the introduction of a private element. He reported that pre-planning application discussions had taken place and a further report would be brought to Cabinet and Council for approval once the contractors had been appointed, planning permission approved and details finalised.
The Leader added that this was the first key site to be redeveloped since the Council decision to invest £100 million in housing across the borough. He welcomed the addition of 29 new homes to the benefit of the town.
