Decision:

That NYC, acting as Shareholder/owner of Bracewell Homes Limited (the “Company”), has approved the appointment of the following director to the Company:

• Paul Foster (Assistant Director Resources)

Reasons for the decision:

Bracewell Homes is a Limited Liability Company wholly owned by North Yorkshire Council. Current directors are Nic Harne (Corporate Director for Community Development), Rachel Joyce (Assistant Chief Executive Local Engagement) and Trevor Watson (Assistant Director for Planning). Trevor Watson has submitted his resignation from his role as director of Bracewell Homes Ltd with effect from 11 May 2025. The Article of Association for Bracewell Homes Ltd stipulate a minimum of three directors. To replace Trevor Watson and to comply with the Articles of Association it is therefore proposed to appoint Paul Foster (Assistant Director Resources).

The company’s articles of association include various reserved matters, which are decisions that must be taken by the company’s shareholder. As NYC is the sole shareholder of the Company, NYC’s approval is required to enable the Company to appoint a new director. Director appointments are specifically delegated to the Shareholder Representative under the Council’s constitution.
