Salford City Council - Record of Decision

 

I, Paul Dennett, City Mayor, in exercise of the powers contained within the City Council constitution do hereby;

 

1.    Approve the disposal of two plots of Council land comprising 8.38acres and any interests the Council may hold in a further plot of land totalling 0.82acres (9.3 acres in total) to Peel Land and Property (Intermediate) Limited.

2.    As consideration for the disposal of the above areas of land, approve the acquisition of 15.82 acres of land from Peel Investments (North) Limited.

3.    Authorise the Shared Legal Service to negotiate, agree and complete the necessary documentation and the taking of all steps required to give effect to the above recommendations, if approved.

 

The Reasons are Port Salford is a multi-modal shipping port and logistics hub located on the Manchester Ship Canal and has been included as a customs site within the Liverpool City Region Freeport bid to Government. The scheme has the potential to provide a further 320,000sqm of employment space supporting up to 10,000 jobs.

 

In order to permit further development of the warehousing/distribution properties at Port Salford, a rail link is required to be brought in from the existing Manchester to Liverpool line to the new rail terminal outlined above. The proposed route of the spur link is to be built, in part, over Council owned land which is located between City Airport and Peel Green Cemetery. 

 

The proposed land exchange between City Council and Peel will allow the rail link to be delivered.

Pendleton Development Phase 3 pdf icon PDF 201 KB

Decision:

Salford City Council - Record of Decision

 

I Paul Dennett, City Mayor, in exercise of the powers contained within the City Council constitution do hereby approve:

 

      i.        The leasehold disposal on the terms and details in the report to deliver the Phase 3 residential development.

 

    ii.        The variation to the original Pendleton PFI development agreement (undertaking and drawdown procedures) to allow for the point of leasehold drawdown to the developer to be in advance of the development works commencement (as detailed in the report).

 

   iii.        Variation of the overage terms in the Pendleton PFI development agreement, for Phase 3 only to meet the requirements of GMCA grant funding.

 

  1. Authorise the Shared Legal Service to complete all necessary documentation and to take all steps which are required to give effect to the above recommendations.

 

The Reasons are that the report seeks approval to grant a lease on council owned land to enable the developer to build out the scheme and draw down grant funding needed to deliver Phase 3 development in Pendleton as part of the long term agreement to redevelop council owned sites in the area.

 

Assessment of Risk - Low

The proposed scheme delivers the agreed masterplan outcomes and improves on the design approved in the outline planning approval and is consistent with the terms of the Development Agreement.

 

The source of funding is:  N/A

 

No Council contribution is anticipated to the Development Agreement other than the transfer of land.

 

Legal Advice obtained: Yes - Michelle Brice Shared Legal Service 0161 219 6303

 

The changes as detailed in this report are a commercial decision and on this phase a requirement of the developer’s grant funder.  The variations on drawdown will be for this phase only and the details and requirements in the report incorporated into the requisite legal documentation.

 

Financial Advice obtained:  Yes - Chris Mee, Group Accountant (Capital / PFI)

 

The residual land value will be a capital receipt to the council and is broadly at the level calculated in the initial viability signed of in December 2019.

 

Procurement Advice obtained:  Not applicable

HR Implications obtained:    Not applicable

Climate Change Implications Obtained: Mike Hemingway, Principal Officer Climate Change
