Yesterday, the District Council decided to release the full documentation for the contract with PegasusLife, plus the report compiled by agents Savills:
Futures Forum: Knowle relocation project: BREAKING NEWS >>> >>> District Council withdraws appeals and commits to publishing full Pegasus contract
This followed attempts back in November 2015 through Freedom of Information requests to get hold of the information :
Decision process which led to the award of the conditional contract with Pegasus re Knowle - a Freedom of Information request to East Devon District Council - WhatDoTheyKnow
Pegasus agreement re Knowle - a Freedom of Information request to East Devon District Council - WhatDoTheyKnow
There has been further comment on Streetlife:
Streetlife | The Knowle and Pegasus
Here are the documents released by the District Council, now made available:
> the complete bid evaluation document from Savills
> the full PegasusLife contract
> the redacted PegasusLife contract
> notes highlighting the differences between the redacted and full contracts
A first observation would be that the redacted information was overwhelmingly about:
> S106/CIL contributions,
> affordable housing, and
> overage
All of which were very controversial at the time of the planning application:
Futures Forum: Knowle Relocation Project: How to classify the proposed development: as C3 housing or as C2 care home?
Futures Forum: Knowle relocation project: planning application to be considered by District Council: Tuesday 6th December >>> planning officers dismiss the need for affordable housing, their own Local Plan, and similar PegasusLife applications which have been refused
Futures Forum: Knowle relocation project: planning application to be considered by District Council: Tuesday 6th December >>> planning officers brush aside planning policies
Futures Forum: Knowle relocation project: deciding to sell >>>>>>>>>> >>> 'overage' and the dangers of selling Knowle short >>> one year on
Further comment to follow...
