Relevant Overview and Scrutiny Committee: Regeneration, Community and Culture Overview and Scrutiny Committee

140/2008 The Cabinet approved the phase 2 works.
141/2008 The Cabinet approved the final layout for the bus facility, subject to the Council, as landowners, advertising the appropriation of that part of the proposed site currently forming open space to bus facility and delegated authority to the Director of Regeneration, Community and Culture, in consultation with the Portfolio Holders, to issue the relevant advertisement and consider any objections and determine whether or not to appropriate the land.
142/2008 The Cabinet recommended to Council that the Council makes a Compulsory Purchase Order for the acquisition of any land required for the road scheme which cannot be acquired by negotiation.
143/2008 The Cabinet delegated authority to the Assistant Director, Housing and Corporate Services, in consultation with the Portfolio Holder for Finance, all aspects of estate management of the land acquired, including the grant of short term leases and licences and the surrender or variation of existing interests.

These decisions will support the regeneration proposals for Chatham. They enable the Compulsory Purchase Order and the planning applications for the road scheme and bus facility to be progressed, and delegated authority will ensure that any land acquired is managed effectively.
