Decision details

To recommend to Council the disposal of this site.

174/2006 The Cabinet recommended to the Council meeting on 2 November 2006 that the council's land at the St Matthew's site be declared surplus and, subject to the consent of the DfES in relation to the disposal of the open land, disposed of. The Director of Finance and Corporate Services will then be able to use his delegated powers to dispose of the site at best consideration and assess how best to apply the proceeds of the sale to the cost of constructing the new school building.

Declaring surplus, and subject to DfES consent in relation to the open land at the site, disposing the site will gain the necessary contribution towards the costs of constructing a new school and to save the revenue costs of maintaining and securing a vacated school building.
