To extend the Planning Longstop date under the Deed of Variation by one year to April 2025
RESOLVED
KEY DECISION
That the Executive:
a) Delegated authority to the Executive Member for Highways, Travel and Assets, in consultation with the Assistant Director of Assets and Environment to authorise the variation of the long stop date to 30th April 2025.
Reasons for Recommendation: Theextension of the new Deed of Variation shall:
· Provide a sufficient timeframe for Planning to be resolved as the current long stop date in April 2024 appears to be unachievable.
· It will provide the Council with the most certainty that the scheme will be brought forward for housing.
· It is in support of the corporate plan and the Rushden East Sustainable Urban Extension (SUE).
Alternative Options Considered: The Council could choose not to extend the long stop date, but this is not supportive of the Council’s strategic direction as documented in the Executive report of April 2023 and may result in the landowner not bringing the site forward for development.
