Members considered a report which sought approval to construct five new homes on land adjacent to 51 Ilkeston Road, Bramcote NG9 3JP, as specified by Planning consent 21/00038/REG3, and to refurbish Farm Cottage at the site to bring it back into use for Social Rent as one home.
Following a tendering exercise in 2021 a main Contractor was appointed but the scheme was then placed on hold by Cabinet. Members were informed that planning consent will expire on 3 June 2024 so we are requesting that the scheme restarts.
The Contractor who won the original tender had recently confirmed his willingness to carry out the work at a price slightly adjusted for inflation.
RESOLVED that the production of six dwellings at the Farm Cottage site, as detailed in the report, be approved.
Reason
This was an opportunity to provide homes which would accommodate different people on the Council’s waiting list.
