The council's Head of Housing Development approved a contract variation on 13 August, published 25 August, adding £6,900 to Bellrock Advisory LLP's clerk of works contract for the Cranwood Housing Scheme at 100 Woodside Avenue, N10 3JA. That takes the total contract value to £61,182.
The stated reason is that the council needed additional services "during the final stages of construction and handover" and will need them through the defects liability period — the window after completion in which the contractor must put right faults. For neighbours on Woodside Avenue, it is the clearest official indication yet that the site is close to finished and that independent inspection of the build will continue after the scaffolding goes.
