Content: To update on the progress on the Lacy St Development in Stretford to provide 53 energy efficient houses and apartments and is due to complete in End of 2027. 1)         That the progress of the development, be noted.   2)         That the commitment to delivering 25% affordable housing, be noted.   3)         That the development progression based on the delivery of the affordable homes, be approved.   4)         That the plans and proposals, including type and tenure mix, be noted.   5)         That the low carbon and sustainable measures, be noted. The Council is committed to the provision of new homes in the Borough. The development gives the Council control over how the land is developed so that it can be better aligned with the Council’s strategic objectives and that the development meets the Council priorities relating to affordable housing, energy efficiency and carbon reduction. The option to do nothing would have a serious impact on the level of capital receipts required to support the three-year capital programme and will also incur abortive costs that will add pressure to the Council revenue.   The Council could dispose of the site at open market value; however, this would not ensure the Council’s outcomes would be achieved as the Council would not have development control of the site nor would it benefit from any development profit.
