Council could face £100,000 bill if controversial housing plans are turned down
DDC could face a bill of more than £100,000 if its own planning committee turns down a controversial homes project.
Daventry District Council says it wants to build 45 homes on a plot (site 10) on the Middlemore estate originally put aside for a school
The new homes would be owned by the council, and the majority rented out at commercial rates.
Campaigners against the homes discovered DDC has already spent £57,295 on developing plans for the site.
And now the council has revealed to the Daventry Express it is liable to pay its contractors up to £103,779.28 if its own planning committee does not approve the scheme.
Tamlyn Coleman, from the residents’ group, said: “It’s ridiculous that the council has spent taxpayers’ money, and could be liable for much more, on this project.”
