Decision details

The Council is currently working with its development partner, Barratt Metropolitan LLP on the regeneration of the West Hendon Estate.  Under the terms of the Principal Development Agreement the Council must transfer the land required for this phase 3a(i) and ahead of the relevant transfer the land is to be appropriated to planning to extinguish any private rights that may exist.

On 12 September 2013, the Leader of the Council authorised the appropriation of land in phase 3a (with the exception of the former Telford Road shown coloured blue hatched red – on the attached plan 716-06-SK-099) to a planning purpose.  The Leader also delegated power to the Interim Director of Planning, Environment & Regeneration (formerly the Director for Place) to appropriate the  land shown hatched red (“the Land”) upon completion of the Stopping Up process under section 247 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990. On 27 February 2014, the Land was stopped up following the opening of the re-aligned Telford Road. The aforementioned decisions were also reported to the Cabinet Resources Committee on 16 December 2013.

This DPR confirms that the land shown coloured blue hatched red on the attached plan 716-06-SK-099 is appropriated to planning purposes.

There are no financial obligations on the Council and the Council’s costs are recovered from Barratts under the terms of the Principal Development Agreement. a copy of the appropriation DPR dated 12 September 2013 is attached
