SPDMP-01-18: Disposal of former Rising Sun site, Box, to the Rising Sun Memorial CIC at less than market value

Decision Maker: Cabinet Member for Finance, Development Management and Strategic Planning

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: Yes

Purpose:

To seek authority for the disposal of approximately 480 square metres of land known as the Rising Sun Site, Box to the Rising Sun Memorial CIC at less than market value.

Decision:

Authorise the disposal of approximately 480 square metres of land known as the Rising Sun Site, Box to the Rising Sun Memorial CIC at less than market value

 

This decision was made on 21/8/18 and will come into force on 30/8/18

Reasons for the decision:

To secure the provision of the land as an open area accessible to the public and receive a small receipt.

Alternative options considered:

Seek full value for the land from the adjoining householders. Although this would result in a slightly higher receipt there would be a risk that the land could be assimilated into the adjoining garden, compromising public access, after a change of ownership.
