Further to the decision in principle made on 27th September 2021, this report seeks a further decision to enter into the lease with Northampton Partnership Homes for office and depot accommodation at the Council’s Westbridge site (see Appendix A).
The report also seeks support for the development of the office and depot accommodation for Northampton Partnership Homes to ensure it is fit for purpose and enables the organisation to deliver the requirements of the management agreement between the Council and Northampton Partnership Homes. For the avoidance of doubt, this also includes approval of a capital budget for the redevelopment of the CEDOS block into a Tenant Engagement Centre and associated additional works as described within this report.
The report also notes the delegation to the Assistant Director Assets and Environment to agree the terms of the lease and enter into any documentation required to deliver the decision.
