Contractor says it is still open to working with council “to address its urgent housing needs”

Lendlease said it is still willing to work with Haringey council to build more than 6,000 homes across the borough, despite the prospect of a multi-billion pound partnership between the contractor and the local authority being thrown out next week.

The £4bn venture, known as the Haringey Development Vehicle (HDV), would have seen council land being transferred into the deal, a proposal which proved highly controversial during the recent local elections, held in May.

And now a report by the council’s planning office has recommended that the authority’s cabinet terminate the HDV when it meets next Tuesday (17 July).
