Decision details

New primary school on land to the east of the A167, Darlington Road, Northallerton

Decision Maker: Corporate Director Children and Young People's Services

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: No

Decision:

To abandon the procurement procedure for the construction of a new primary school on land to the east of the A167, Darlington Road, Northallerton

Reasons for the decision:

The land where the construction of the new school was to take place is not currently owned by the Council. At the start of the procurement procedure it was anticipated the land for the development of the school would be provided to the Council by the developer in accordance with the S106 Agreement. Unfortunately, whilst the land has been offered to NYCC, and that offer accepted, the land has not been transferred and risks remain around the timing of the transfer, programme and cost implications. The original construction programme cannot be met and therefore, the procurement exercise must be abandoned.

Alternative options considered:

None
