The Director for Place submitted a written report seeking approval to make a Compulsory Purchase Order (CPO) in the future, if necessary, as part of the second phase of the North Prospect regeneration project. The properties concerned were within the estate transferred to Plymouth Community Homes as part of the housing stock transfer on 20 November 2009.

(a)   Ash Grove: 1-25 (odds) and 2-42 (evens)

(b)  Cookworthy Road: 11-31 (odds)
