Reserved matter application seeking approval for advance infrastructure works in relation to Phase 2a of Millbrook Park (Mill hill East), comprising ground re-profiling and construction of new roads with associated multi-utility infrastructure, pursuant to outline planning permission H/04017/09, condition 5b dated 22/09/11.

2.    To authorise the release of funds for the completion of the purchase, and for the associated repair costs to facilitate the use of this property as temporary accommodation.

Under the terms of the Regeneration Agreement for Dollis Valley the resident leaseholders on the estate have been offered the option of reinvesting the value of their existing properties into a shared equity purchase of a new home on the estate, under which agreement the Council would purchase and hold the balance of the equity.

Five leaseholders currently occupying properties in phase 3 of the development have opted to take up the Council’s offer and the Council now needs to provide the funding of the equity that it will retain in these five homes so that its development partner, Countryside, can complete the sales and move the leaseholders out of the homes which will need to be demolished for the next phase. The funding of the equity will be in accordance with the regeneration agreement. The value of the council’s shared equity and associated contributions in respect of stamp duty land tax will be to the development partner or paid in a lump sum to Countryside on completion of each property purchase.

1.    That in accordance with the resolution of Assets Regeneration and Growth Committee dated 12^th December  2016 and the terms of the Regeneration Agreement dated 1^st October 2012 made between the Council and Countryside Properties (UK) limited (CPUK), the Council agrees to enter into shared equity mortgages of the five newly constructed properties on the redeveloped Dollis Valley estate detailed at paragraphs 1.9 and 1.10 of this report and will pay  the value of the Council’s equity share to CPUK along with a sum in respect of the stamp duty land tax payable for each property in proportion to the Council’s equity share.

This report agrees the following:

That the Commissioning Director-Growth and Development agrees to procuring the services of a Surveyor for work on housing enforcement related cases including properties purchased through CPO for a period of two years, with an option to extend for a further year subject to performance and budget. The contract value will not exceed £164,000.

The regeneration of the Stonegrove and Spur Road was approved by the Council in 2007.  The chosen development partner is a joint venture between Barratts and Family Mosaic Housing association know as Barratt Evolution LLP (BMLLP).

Under the terms of the development agreement, subject to meeting the conditions precedent, BMLLP can call for the Council to transfer its freehold interest in the land on a phase by phase basis. Prior to the transfer the Council must appropriate it from Housing to Planning.

This DPR seeks authority to appropriate land to planning and to transfer these next phases to BMLLP.
