RP Clusters Programme Option Agreement Extension

 

 

Housing Growth and Regeneration team have agreed with Thirteen Group to extend the option agreement date on the Highmoor Lane site which is parcelled in the RP Clusters Programme to allow for a period of contingency if there’s any delays encountered.


There is a risk that if the expiry date of the Option agreement is not extended, Thirteen Group will not be in a position to exercise the option before their expiry and therefore will be unable to proceed with their purchase and development of the site.

 

For Highmoor Lane, the below extension has been agreed.
