Minutes:
The minutes of the Cabinet meeting held on 31st October 2018 were received for information.
During consideration of the minutes Councillor P. McDonald commented that paragraph 39/18 of the minutes from that Cabinet meeting referred to funding for the development of the Burcot Lane site. Councillor McDonald expressed concerns that the costs of establishing a housing company would have a negative impact on the Council’s budgetary position. Concerns were also raised about the proportion of affordable housing in Bromsgrove district and he suggested that there needed to be more than the proposed 18 affordable units within the development of the Burcot Lane site. To address this Councillor MacDonald commented that the Council needed to work in partnership with Bromsgrove District Housing Trust (BDHT) on the development of the site.
Councillor C. Hotham sought assurances that at least one of the 67 properties that were due to be developed on the Burcot Lane site would be provided to care leavers. The Leader acknowledged that he had noted this request.
RESOLVED that the minutes of the meeting of Cabinet held on 31st October 2018 be noted.
