The Director of Housing Services decides as follows:

 

To purchase the leasehold of Flat K at 10 Cinnaminta Road, Oxford, OX3 7JB for £280,000 to be allocated to the Temporary Accommodation and Homes England SAHP grant funding Programme.

 

Reasons for the decision:

In response the above, the decision has been made to use allocated funds of £280,000 to purchase the leasehold of Flat K at 10 Cinnaminta Road, Oxford, OX3 7JB to provide 1 more unit for the HRA to respond to the immediate temporary accommodation need. If this decision is not taken the Council will miss the opportunity to purchase a one-bedroom unit suitable for TA to reduce the Councils spend on TA accommodation such as hotels and B&B’s

 

Alternative options considered:

The alternative option is to not purchase but this will result in the Council bypassing the opportunity to purchase a one-bedroom unit suitable for TA to reduce the Councils spend on TA accommodation such as hotels and B&B’s.
