Brierley Homes Loan Draw Down

Decision Maker: Corporate Director of Resources

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: No

Decision:

The Corporate Director Resources in consultation with the Leader, Deputy Leader (Executive Member for Finance) and Chief Executive to approve loan facility draw down by Brierley Homes of up to £975k at the usual commercial rate of interest to ensure Brierley Homes has appropriate cashflow over the short term in line with demonstration of need.

Reasons for the decision:

Further loan draw down from the existing facility of £975k is required in order to allow the company time for sales to be received and therefore this loan draw down will ensure Brierley Homes can make all payments due in the event of some delayed sales.

Alternative options considered:

There is an option not to approve an additional loan draw down but this runs the risk of some payments being unable to be made if there is any delay in sales income being received and loan facility headroom is available following the Executive decision on 16 September 2025 to approve an additional commercial loan facility for Brierley Homes of £2m.
