36.1 The Committee considered the report of the Executive Director Environment Development and Housing on New Homes for Neighbourhoods – Development of New Homes on Housing Revenue Account Land. The report was presented by Mr S Smith, Estate Regeneration Programme Manager and Mr N Parlett, LSH Financial Consultants

36.2 Councillor Morgan thanked officers for the report and said it was a good example on how sites can be developed, but he said it was important to balance needing housing against loosing open spaces.

36.3 Councillor Peltzer Dunn referred to paragraph 3.13, and asked for further clarification on the figures given. Officers suggested it might be useful to have a separate meeting where the financial officers could provide a fuller explanation. Mr N Parlett said he was happy to hold a financial workshop if that would be useful. Councillor Peltzer Dunn thanked officers.

36.4 Councillor Mears said that there were many older people living in the Manor Place locality, and it was good to have some accommodation which would allow them to remain in the area.
