Decision details

Members will be asked to approve the composition of a short list of preferred partners to re-provision the Fitzhorold and Shalder House Sheltered Housing Schemes sites and to agree to the commissioning and tendering process proceeding to the final stage.

74/2007 The Cabinet noted the shortlist of four bidders, as set out in the exempt appendix, invited to formally submit tenders.
75/2007 The Cabinet agreed to include an option for Plewis House in the Fitzthorold House market brief to determine if the combined site adds value to the Council's asset and the overall development.
76/2007 The Cabinet approved, in principle, the funding necessary to decant Plewis House tenants together with funding to repurchase one leaseholder flat sold under Right to Buy.
77/2007 The Cabinet instructed officers to advise potential partners of the identified risks associated with the proximity of the gas storage site adjacent to Fitzthorold House site (including Plewis House).

These decisions will enable the Council to secure external funding required for the redevelopment of Fitzthorold House, Plewis House and Shalder House, as well as allowing the Council to fulfil its wider enabling role in the community.
