Decision details
SPDMP-01-19 Public Conveniences - Calne
Decision Maker: Cabinet Member for Spatial Planning, Development Management and Property
Decision status: For Determination
Is Key decision?: No
Is subject to call in?: Yes
Purpose:
Cabinet resolved on 15 March 2016 to transfer any public conveniences to those towns and parishes that wished to manage the facilities. The decision did not specifically refer to the former public conveniences at Patford Street, Calne due to previous closure by North Wiltshire District Council.
Authority is now sought for the transfer of the freehold interest in the subject property to Calne Town Council at nil consideration. This is in accordance with the Cabinet Decision, and will enable the facility to be brought back into use by the Town Council.
Decision:
INTENTION TO MAKE DECISION
Following consultation with officers I give notice that I intend to make the
decision set out in the attached report. If you would like to make any
representations to me on this issue please do so by 15 February 2019.
Reasons for the decision:
The transfer is in accordance with the decision made by Cabinet on 15 March 2016 and will enable Calne Town Council to provide operational public conveniences in the town.
Alternative options considered:
Retain ownership of the freehold interest; the property has been non-operational for some years and is in apparent poor condition. It is not in a strategic location and is considered to be unsuitable for occupation other than as public conveniences or possibly storage. On this basis, its continued ownership is not considered to be of benefit to the Council.
