Report of the Director of Property Services and Development

NOTE:  In accordance with the Constitution, Councillor N Akhtar, Chair of the Scrutiny Co-ordination Committee, has been invited to attend the meeting for this item of business and the corresponding private report detailed in agenda item 8 below to agree the grounds for urgency such that call-in arrangements will not apply. The reason for urgency is that that, in order to meet the construction programme and complete the new development for the occupation by students before commencement of the academic year in September 2026, the legal agreement and commitment is required to be completed by the 20^th May 2024. If this timescale is not achieved, then a delay of a further 12 months would be incurred, which would mean that the improved income for the Council is also delayed by a year.

There are no outstanding issues.
