Report seeking approval of land in Clifton Way for extension of the Hollycroft Medical Centre.

Councillors Bill, Bray, Cartwright, Mrs Cope, Mr Cope, Crooks, Hodgkins, Hollick, Lynch, Taylor and Witherford reminded the meeting that they had declared a personal interest in this item and would take no part in the debate or voting thereon.

Consideration was given to a report which sought approval of the disposal of land in Clifton Way, Hinckley, to facilitate the extension of the Hollycroft Medical Centre. A member suggested that the developer be approached to ask if they could remove the covenant at cost rather than charge the already struggling NHS for doing so. It was moved by Councillor Surtees, seconded by Councillor Rooney and

RESOLVED –

(i)            The site at Clifton Way be designated surplus to requirements and withdrawn from allocation as public open space;

(ii)           Disposal of the site for the extension of Hollycroft Medical Centre upon payment of £75,000 plus legal costs be approved;

(iii)          Payment to Jelson Ltd to release the restrictive covenant to enable use as a medical centre on the best terms that can be negotiated, not exceeding 50% of the sale proceeds be approved, with a request that Jelson Ltd charge this work at cost only.
