There is only one supplier in the whole of
South West
(Cornwall, Devon, Somerset and Dorset) that provide this level of
technical support to Land Trusts (CLTs). They are the original hub
set up nationally. The decision is urgent because of Homes England
delayed process by 6 months which means that no further delays can
be afforded and the next Strategy and Resources Committee (7th
October) is too late to action the work required before funding end
date
of 31st March 2020.
A Homes England bid was submitted in February for possible
technical support for CLTs. It was confirmed today by Homes England
that the final engrossments would be signed and sealed and funding
can go ahead. It is therefore appropriate to now apply for a waiver
before going any further. Contract will be funded 90% Homes England
and 10% NDC.
