  • 130926 Final Appendix 2 Project Appraisal Ekin Road, Item 68 PDF
    Appendix 2 – 11 to 45 Ekin Road Garage Site Project Appraisal 1. Summary This garage site was identified for possible re-development by officers. Out of the 35 garages on this site 14 are empty. These garages were approved for consideration for redevelopment as part of the Council’s 3 Year Rolling Programme in June 2013. There is limited availability of garages in close proximity to the site for garage tenants to be re-located to. 2. Reason for Investigation: This garage site was identified for possible re-development by officers due to the high number of empty garages. 3. Feasibility: Existing Site : 35 garages The site is in the Abbey Ward has a single access between 11 and 13 Ekin Road. It is bounded on all sides by the gardens of houses in Ekin Road; Keynes Road and Ditton Lane. The adjacent houses are of a mixed tenure. A site location plan is shown at the end of the Appendix. Rent Loss The annual rent loss at a 40% void rate is about £6,670. Site Constraints The vehicular access between 11 and 13 Ekin Road may need to be widened slightly to accommodate a housing scheme. Both these properties are in the Council’s ownership. A number of surrounding properties appear to have informal access into the garage area. These need to be investigated thoroughly to establish whether any of the residents have acquired legal rights. Engagement with Existing Residents The neighbours immediately adjacent to the garage block have recently been written to to seek their initial views.
