RECORD OF OFFICER EXECUTIVE DECISION

 

Date of Decision:

6 November 2023
 

Title:

Larch Road
Demolition
 

Decision Maker:
(Including Job
Title)

James Clark, Assistant Director
of Housing
 
 

Details of Specific Cabinet
Delegation
or Delegation contained in the
relevant Sub-Scheme of Delegation.
 

The decision is further to
Recommendation 1 of the Housing Development Programme Report
– 2023/24, approved by Cabinet in January 2023.
 
1.   
That Cabinet approves the Council-owned sites listed
in Appendix 3 being brought forward to deliver new Council
homes.

Decision:

To approve the demolition of
the former Park Hill Lodge care home on Larch Road in Maltby. The
Council’s Housing repairs and maintenance contractor:
Equans, will oversee delivery of the
works.
 

Reasons for the
Decision:

Larch Road is a site identified
within Appendix 3 to the January 2023 Cabinet report and demolition
of the existing structures is necessary to support planned
redevelopment of the site for new Council homes.
 

Details of alternative
options considered and rejected:

Demolition is a routine site
development function which normally forms part of the construction
contract; however, construction is not due to start until
mid-2024.
 
Meanwhile, the structures have
already stood vacant for a considerable period, having been closed
in 2020, and further to Cabinet’s approval of an earlier
Adult Care service transformation report. The vacant structures
present a risk of anti-social behaviour and are incurring holding
(revenue) costs for the Council, therefore earlier demolition is
recommended.
