Decision details

Councillor Helen Dennis, cabinet member for new homes and sustainable development confirmed several updates to the report/appendices as follows:

·  That the final paragraph of Appendix 1 should read:

We will continue to lobby on key issues - especially the abolition of Right to Buy; the prioritisation of social rent housing and a reformed Compulsory Purchase Order process. Southwark is already taking a leading role in advocacy around the future of council housing. We will also work with partner organisations, including London Councils, the LGA and the Southwark Land Partnership to achieve our goals in response to a fast-changing policy and political environment.

The paragraph which currently starts: “The reason why this is shown….” will be deleted.

·  Paragraph 12 of the cabinet report and Appendix 1, page 7: reference to pilot sites and widening participation. Add the word ‘potential’ to Thorburn Square.

RESOLVED:

1.  That the series of actions set out the council’s draft response to the Southwark Land Commission report set out in Appendix 1 and the action plan set out in Appendix 2 of the report be agreed.

2.  That the finalisation of the wording and design of the council’s draft response to the Southwark Land Commission report prior to publication be delegated to the cabinet member for new homes and sustainable development.

3.  That the terms of reference and membership of the Southwark Land Partnership be delegated to the cabinet member for new homes and sustainable development.
