Minute 429 of Cabinet on 7th March 2022, Affordable Housing Development, was a
matter on which the Council was required to make a decision.
Councillor Batsford proposed approval of the minute, seconded by Councillor Rogers
RESOLVED 17 for 3 against 9 abstentions
Recommendations
1. To bring 6 units of accommodation at 12/13 York Buildings into use as affordable housing
2. That Cabinet recommends to Full Council that a detailed business case and initial surveys are commissioned to facilitate this for the development of land to the rear of 419 – 447 Bexhill Road at a cost of up to £75,000.
3. That Cabinet recommends to Full Council that a detailed business case and initial surveys are commissioned to facilitate this for the development of land at Mayfield E at a cost of up to £75,000.
4. That Cabinet recommends to Full Council that delegated authority is given to the Assistant Director, Housing and Built Environment, in consultation with the Lead Member for Housing to finalise the specification for the business case and procure these services
Reasons for Recommendations
1. Delivery of new affordable housing in Hastings has failed to keep pace with rising demand. A shortage of affordable housing is creating additional pressures and costs to the council, particularly the rising use of temporary accommodation. The council has agreed a commitment to increase the supply of new affordable rented homes by 500 units over the next 5 years
Minute 430 of Cabinet on 7th March 2022, Hastings Contemporary, was a
matter on which the Council was required to make a decision.
Councillor Chowney proposed approval of the minute, seconded by Councillor Batsford
RESOLVED(unanimously)
Recommendation(s)
1. To recommend to Full Council that delegated authority be granted to the
Chief Finance Officer in consultation with the Assistant Director
Regeneration and Culture and the Leader of the Council to agree terms to
accept a surrender of the lease to Gallerium Establishment Ltd (GEL)
2. To recommend to Full Council to delegate authority to the Chief Finance
Officer in consultation with the Assistant Director Regeneration and Culture,
and the Leader of the Council to agree terms to grant a lease to Hastings
Contemporary (HC)
Reasons for Recommendations
The existing lessee has offered the building to the Council as a public benefit for the
people of Hastings on the basis that it is retained for its current use. This presents an
opportunity for the Council to secure the future of the site.
Delegated authority is sought in order to negotiate and complete the respective
agreements in a short period.
Councillors debated minutes 420,424,425,426,427 and 428 of Cabinet on 7th March 2022. These matters did not require approval of Full Council.
