RESOLVED:
That the Cabinet:
1. Approves the development proposals to rebuild the Northwood Hills Library site and the residential development as outlined in the report;
2. Authorises the disposal of the site to Hillingdon First Ltd (The Council’s wholly owned development company) for the re-development of the site as set out on the site plan and agrees that the Council will buy back the new library and;
3. Delegates all future decisions regarding the re-development of the Northwood Hills Library site to the Leader of the Council and the Cabinet Member for Property, Highways & Transport and/or Cabinet Member for Residents’ Services as appropriate, in conjunction with the Corporate Director of Place.
Reasons for decision
The Cabinet Member for Residents’ Services introduced the report, which Cabinet agreed, to deliver new library facilities and housing in Northwood Hills with an overall development that would make the best use of the Council’s assets for the benefit of local residents.
Alternative options considered and rejected
Cabinet could have refurbished the existing library which it deemed uneconomical or close the library but discounted this, as it was a popular facility used by residents.
