Decision:

To approve the award of contract for the refurbishment and conversion of Farrar Lane Sheltered Housing Scheme

Reason Key: Affects more than 1 ward;

Wards Affected: Adel and Wharfedale;

If the decision has not been published in the List of Forthcoming Key Decisions for at least 28 clear days, the reason why it would be impracticable to delay the decision:: If not on the List of Forthcoming Key Decisions for at least 28 clear days, the reason why it would be impracticable to delay the decision:- We are requesting that this decision is taken under general exception as it is impracticable to include the decision in the List of Forthcoming Key Decisions for a period of 28 clear calendar days prior to taking the decision as the project is at such a stage that this would have a negative impact on the programme in place. All works being undertaken at Farrar Lane are being undertaken whilst tenants are still present on the site and may require tenants to be decanted at various points within the programme so any delays to programme in place will have a major impact on residents of the scheme.

Other reasons / organisations consulted

Tenants have specifically been consulted on the proposals on the 17th March 2013 and 11th June 2014. Further consultation is planned with tenants and local members in the week commencing 15th Sept 2014.

 

Consultees

Consultation has been undertaken by Housing Leeds with tenants of the scheme and the Councillor for the area.
