The Housing Growth and Regeneration team have agreed with Thirteen Group to extend the option agreement dates on 2 sites (Main Avenue and Highmoor Lane) which are parcelled in the RP Clusters Programme. The extension is required due to delays faced to the programme and to allow for contingency period.
There is a risk that if the expiry dates of the Option agreements
are not extended, Thirteen Group will not be in
a position to exercise the option before their expiry and
therefore being unable to proceed with their purchase and
development of the sites.
For Main Avenue and Highmoor Lane the below extensions have been agreed, whilst further discussions are being had regarding Mayman Lane
