Consideration was given to the report on a proposed Minor Land Disposal Policy together with associated fees and charges.

Whilst the Executive Director Finance and Corporate Resources already had authority to determine applications for the purchase and lease of small areas of land owned by the Council in accordance with the Assets Management Plan, the policy was intended to clarify the position, including the fees to be imposed. Clearly, applications which fell outside the policy would continue to be referred to Members for determination.  

RECOMMENDED:

(a)       that the Minor Land Disposal Policy attached as an appendix to the report be approved, subject to the amendment of the wording in the second paragraph to read “the relevant Ward Member will be consulted accordingly” ; and

(b)       that authority be delegated to the Head of Finance and Resources to progress any applications which fall within the Minor Land Disposal Policy and that the Scheme of Delegation be amended accordingly.
