To seek approval of expenditure for a design
team for the redevelopment of the White House Hostel across
financial years 2018/19 and 2019/20.
Re-development of the site will provide much needed hostel
accommodation for homeless residents within the Borough. This will
assist the Council in meeting its statutory obligations under the
Homeless Reduction Act 2017 to meet this need.
The budget for design fees was approved by
Council on 13 December 2018 and the Group Head for Regeneration and
Growth in consultation with the Portfolio Holder appointed the
advisors and design team. The Head of Corporate Governance entered
into any legal documentation necessary to implement the
redevelopment project.
Option 1 - do nothing
Option 2 - build a homeless hostel at White House
Option 3 - work with other providers on other solutions
