Report DRR10/019a

 

Following a report to the Executive’s meeting on 21st May 2019, a tender process had been carried out through a compliant framework for the design and build of off-site housing construction for the provision of temporary accommodation at two sites - Bushell Way, Chislehurst and Anerley Town Hall Overflow Car Park.

 

Further details were set out in a part 2 report (minute 150.) 

 

Councillor Angela Wilkins, as ward member for Crystal Palace, pointed out that as the free parking on the Anerley site would no longer be available there would be an impact on surrounding streets. She therefore asked that additional resources be put towards parking management in the area, and the Leader supported this.  

 

The report had been scrutinised by the Renewal, Recreation and Housing PDS Committee on 11th February 2020, and the Committee supported the proposals.

 

RESOLVED that the contract for the Design and Build (subject to planning permission) of the two schemes be approved as detailed in the part 2 report.

Report DRR20/019a

 

Members considered recommendations for the award of contract, following a tender process through a compliant framework (LHC NH2), for the design and build of off-site housing construction for the provision of temporary accommodation across two sites namely, Bushell Way, Chislehurst and Anerley Town Hall Overflow Car Park.

 

The outcome of the tender process was considered in the accompanying Part 2 confidential report (DRR20/019b).

 

The current proposal would provide no more than 25 units on the Bushell Way site and a maximum of 10 units at the Anerley site.  The Council had requested two finishes of render and brick.

 

The developments at both sites would consist of a mix of 1 and 2-bed houses and apartments.  It was likely that the Anerley site would contain more apartments than houses.

 

Councillor Wilkins referred to land near Anerley Town Hall which was used freely for parking and whilst Controlled Parking Zones had been established in the area, there was very little or no parking enforcement.  She requested that the issue of parking enforcement be brought to the attention of the relevant Council department.

 

The Council anticipated that the use of the units as temporary accommodation was likely to be 3-5 years.  However, the units themselves were regarded as permanent buildings which would in all likelihood be converted to social housing in the future.

 

Councillor Morgan welcomed the proposed schemes which would deliver 100% affordable homes/social rented housing.

 

Councillor Sharma thanked the Head of Regeneration for her engagement with residents and Councillors.

 

Members were informed that a public page with frequently asked questions would be published following consideration of the proposals by the Executive.

 

The Chairman requested that the pace of decision-making be speeded up.

 

RESOLVED that the report be noted and Member comments be provided to a meeting of the Executive on 12 February 2020.
