Minutes:
The Cabinet considered a report relating to highway improvements necessary at the crossroads of Stourbridge Road, Market Street and Birmingham Road, Bromsgrove in order to meet the requirements of one of the conditions included within the Planning Permission granted for the proposed new Sainsbury’s supermarket on Birmingham Road, Bromsgrove.
It was noted that the highway improvements would require the incorporation within the highway of a strip of Council owned land at present forming part of the Market Street Car Park. It was reported that the proposal would result in the net loss of 4 car park spaces but that the company would fund the necessary resurfacing, levelling and relining of the car park and would pay to the Council the sum of £50,000 to offset the loss of the car park spaces and any loss of revenue during the necessary works.
Following discussion it was
RESOLVED:
(a) that the dedication to highway land of part of the Market Street Car Park to enable improvements to be undertaken to the crossroads of Stourbridge Road, Market Street and Birmingham Road be approved and that the Council enter into an agreement under section 278 of the Highways Act 1990 for the sole purpose of dedicating the said land as public highway;
(b) that Sainsbury PLC and their appointed representatives and contractors be permitted to carry out the agreed and necessary levelling, re-engineering and re-instatement works to the Market Street Car Park;
(c) that Sainsbury PLC and their appointed representatives and contractors be permitted have such access to the Market Street Car Park for plant and storage that they shall need to execute the highway improvements, within defined limits and an agreed timescale; and
(d) that the offer of £50,000 from Sainsbury PLC in consideration of the net loss of 4 car park spaces resulting from the dedication be accepted.
RECOMMENDED that the sum of £50,000 from Sainsbury PLC be allocated to the Town Centre Regeneration Programme Capital Budget 2011/2012.
