(3)       it be noted that the Council would receive a proportion of the profit generated by the development that is equal to the proportion of development costs represented by the Council's financial contribution;

(4)       it be noted that the Council will receive 20% of any additional profit generated from 'overage' as a result of the development; and

(5)       the Legal Director be requested, in consultation with the Finance and Information Services Director and Housing Market Renewal Director, to enter into an appropriate legal agreement with Bellway Homes pursuant to securing the Council's position in respect of the partnership arrangement.
