Background

 

This report advised Cabinet of the progress which had been made regarding the regeneration of Temple Waterfront and sought the necessary approvals to allow the disposal of the Council’s land, thus facilitating its development. An earlier decision had been made, on disposal of part of this site, at Full Council on 14 January 2010, (item 524 refers.)

 

Public consultation was undertaken as part of the planning application process and the Council’s intention to dispose of open space was advertised in 2012. Further public consultation would take place in respect of the developer obtaining reserved matters approval on the later phases and the proposed disposal of open space would be re-advertised when the extent of the area to be disposed of was clear.

 

Decision number:

Decision:

104/2016

The Cabinet agreed to delegate authority to the Chief Legal Officer in consultation with the Leader and Portfolio Holder for Resources to:

·         Declare surplus development land within the Council’s ownership at Temple Waterfront, so that it can be disposed of on the best terms reasonable obtainable.

·         Dispose of land at Temple Waterfront on the best terms reasonably obtainable.

·         Advertise the loss of existing open space in accordance with s123(2A) of the Local Government Act 1972, to consider any objections and to determine whether or not to dispose of the land.

·         Enter into any necessary agreements with the landowners to facilitate the development, including but not restricted to the variation or release of covenants on the land owned by Morgan Timber.

·         Enter into any necessary development agreements (including the grant of necessary access or other consents) to facilitate the development.

 

Reasons

 

The disposal of land at Temple Waterfront will generate a capital receipt and provide land for housing and commercial use.
