Borough council to seek legal adviser on building affordable residential accommodation

The accommodation could be funded by developer contributions or out of the council's own resources or a combination of both, it said.

The local authority added: “Following the Haringey case (Peters v London Borough of Haringey [2018] EWHC 192 (Admin) the council requires the accommodation to be leased to a limited liability partnership of which the council will be a member on terms that require the LLP to let the accommodation on assured tenancies at social and/or affordable rents to persons nominated by the council from its housing waiting list.”

The contract is expected to start on 18 October 2018 and run until 1 June 2019.
