That the Portfolio Holder for Housing notes the contents of the report and approves:

The Council will take the transfer of the dwellings without the New Build Mark Warranties and will insure the dwellings under its insurance policy in the same way it insures its housing stock. If any structural remedial works are required to be carried out in the first two years of the completed build work the Council has a remedy under the Defective Premises Act 1972 to ask the developer to carry out the remedial works at its own cost. Alternatively, the Council has the option to carry out the works at its own costs using the HRA repairs and maintenance budget.
