Approved minutes from of Cranfield Parish Council meeting on 20 April 2011. Read carefully.
PCllr Mrs D Ball invited the representative from Dennison Investment to speak following a question from PCllr Laurence Pollock regarding the status of negotiations with Persimmon regarding the Dennison land. It would appear that Persimmon has ‘jumped the gun’ and building has commenced. Dennison and Persimmon were in ‘good discussions’ until February of this year, and then it stopped.
PCllr Mrs D Ball invited the representative from Dennison Investment to speak following a question from PCllr Laurence Pollock regarding the status of negotiations with Persimmon regarding the Dennison land. It would appear that Persimmon has ‘jumped the gun’ and building has commenced. Dennison and Persimmon were in ‘good discussions’ until February of this year, and then it stopped.
The commencement of the build has been stopped by CBC, and Persimmon and Dennison Investments are taking legal advice on their dispute. CBCllr/PCllr Ken Matthews stated that Central Bedfordshire Council will not issue outstanding reserved matters until the dispute is settled, however certain works are permitted. Central Bedfordshire Council has also taken legal advice, and it appears that Persimmon may apply for permission on the grounds of non-determination.
The representative from Dennison Investments suggested that Central Bedfordshire Council must be strong – and state that there will be no occupations until the dispute is resolved. With regard to the 106 monies, he stated that there are tools that are present in the legal agreement to make Persimmon behave, and on the matter of Martin Wright refusing to discuss the 106 agreement on the grounds that it is confidential, Members were advised that Dennison Investments did not consider it confidential and is happy for Mr Wright to discuss it with the Stakeholder Group.
