Decision details

The Portfolio Holder for Business and Transformation presented the report of the Executive Manager – Transformation providing information about the negotiations for the disposal of the land for housing development.

It was RESOLVED that:

a)        the offer set out in the report be accepted in principle; and

b)      the Chief Executive be instructed to finalise the contract details to include a timeline for the delivery of housing on the site.

Reason for Decision

This land has been allocated in the Council’s Local Plan Part 2 and delivery of housing on this allocated site will assist the Council in meeting its Borough-wide housing targets and thus protect against development on unallocated sites.
