Decisions made

Recommendations approved:

Reasons for recommendation(s):

1.    To implement the council’s decision to purchase properties in delivery of the Chorley residential property acquisition strategy.

b.    10 refugee families

3.    To enable Chorley Council to support the resettlement and integration of refugees into the borough in high quality homes

Alternative options considered and rejected:

To source properties from the private rented sector and develop five-year legal agreements negating the need for Chorley Council to procure any additional properties. This was previously rejected due to insecure tenancy and possible poor-quality housing provision.

4.    To waive the requirement to use the Social Value Portal.

5.    That the decision to award is delegated to the Executive Member of Resources.

1.    To acknowledge that a commitment to spend the awarded Brownfield Land Release funds needs to be made by the end of March 2022, therefore a report will be taken to Council on 25 January 2022 to approve these funds.
