The Reasons:
are to advance
two affordable housing project.
 
Options considered and
rejected were:
none all procedures are in accordance with standing
orders.
 
Assessment of Risk: Medium
– should these project not proceed it will significantly
impact the next phases of affordable housing for the city, a key
priority.
 
Should the scheme not proceed,
for whatever reason, the costs within this report could become
abortive. The key risks to note surround programme and final cost
submission from the Council. Should these exceed current plans
further consideration to scheme viability and funding will be
needed.
 
Whilst there is confidence
future Homes England funding for affordable housing delivery will
be secured for the scheme, it should be noted this is not yet
secured and is a potential risk.
 
The source of funding
is: the Place Capital Programme.
