Large regeneration projects inevitably involve varied threads of activity and skill sets which need to be managed as effectively complex issues inevitably arise, such as:
Choice of Delivery vehicle
• Development agreement?
• Special purpose vehicle (SPV)?
• Joint venture agreement?
Strategic Land Assembly
• Compulsory Purchase Order (CPO) powers
• Land acquisition and other interests in land such as rights of way
Planning Considerations
• Section 106 agreements
• Section 278 and section 38 agreements
Other considerations often overlooked when planning the project include:
• Car park management agreements
• CPO indemnity agreements
• Funding agreements with regeneration agency
• Dealing with TPO’s, listed building and conservation area
Each of the above can involve complex legal drafting and negotiation stretching resources at a time when your authority is dealing with important issues. We have advised on all of these issues for both Local Authorities and Developers.
