Retrieving derelict land

Hammersmith and Fulham Council has a plan to jump on a £2.15billion bid to retrieve large amounts of worn out land. Said land exists within Earl’s Court. They are doing this with the hope of building thousands of new homes. Ten years ago, the land had the label of Earl’s Court Opportunity Area. However, work on the land, which is equal to about 29 football pitches in size, has been stagnant for a long time.

During a cabinet meeting, the council leader drew attention towards the developer Capital and Counties (Capco). They took aim at them for leaving everything dismal. The council said it was difficult for them to see a less adept approach to redevelopment than what they saw from Capco. After conversing with the developer for many months, chiefs from the council made the decision to bid to force them away from parts of the land. In the process, this would break an extensive deadlock.

The council wants things to move forward

The council believes this course of action is only right considering things were not moving forward. With their compulsory purchase order (CPO), they can supply the homes and economic infrastructure London desperately needs right now. This will create investment property Hammersmith locals and investors from across London, the UK, and overseas will love. They see Capco as more of a property speculator rather than a developer.

Compensation price

When the council still had Conservative leadership, it sold much of the Earl’s Court site to Capco. In 2013, they got planning permission to erect 7,500 homes all over the land. However since then there has been lots of delays and much of the land remains vacant.

According to a recent council report, the compensation price to purchase the land from Capco could be £650million. This is before the council prepares its personal huge housing scheme. The report predicts this could cost an extra £1.5billion over and above the infrastructure costs that remain.

Where will the money come from?

As part of its proceedings for making the CPO, the report said that funding would originate from borrowing. More would come from attempts to establish market interest in uniting with an investment partner. However, something else the report stated was that the end of 2021 could be the earliest the council can reacquire the land and go ahead with the scheme. This is if the council manages to get its own way.
