RESOLVED
That the Cabinet notes the progress made to date at section 4 of this report and approves:
1) That officers be authorised to carry out all necessary preparatory work for the making of a Compulsory Purchase Order (CPO) along with all supporting documentation for submission, on the basis that a decision to make the CPO be deferred to a later cabinet.
2) That officers are authorised to have the draft CPO documentation reviewed by an independent legal advisor prior to submitting for a preliminary review by the Secretary of State ready for final submission, on the basis that this will be reimbursed by Hyde pursuant to an indemnity agreement.
3) That officers are authorised to enter into such legal agreements with affected third parties and other relevant stakeholders as deemed appropriate, in preparing for a CPO, and prior to the actual making of a CPO.
4) That officers are authorised to extend the indemnity agreement with Hyde to cover all costs incurred by CDC in relation to the preparatory work and making of the CPO including, for the avoidance of doubt, the appointment of a CPO surveyor.
