Report of the Deputy Chief Executive (Corporate Direction).

A report seeking to dispose of the Middlefield Lane site was presented to Council. A member asked whether it would be a good idea to market the site with outline planning permission as had been done previously with another site. In response it was felt that there would be not benefit to doing so, but if no suitable tenders were received this would be reconsidered. Concern was also expressed that the site had been considered for council housing, but it was felt to be too large and too expensive. It was moved by Councillor Lynch, seconded by Councillor Bill and

RESOLVED –

(i)            The use of a formal tender process for marketing and disposal at a figure of not less than £2.2m be approved;

(ii)           Authority to accept a tender and dispose of the land at a value not less than £2.2m be delegated to the Deputy Chief Executive (Corporate Direction).
