The land is approximately 209m2 (0.05 acres)
at the junction of Radiance Road and Churchill Road and is
currently unfenced, vacant, overgrown and covered in litter. The
land has limited development potential on its own but may be of
interest to the adjoining owner for additional garden, access to
create a driveway and/or an extension to their property. It may
also be suitable for additional car parking for one of the many
businesses on the surrounding industrial estate.
This land has been identified for disposal and was approved for
disposal by auction at Strategic Decision Making Group on 25 April
2018.
The property will provide vital capital funding to enable the
delivery of the Council’s Capital Programme.
A procurement exercise is currently being undertaken. The land will
be entered into the successful auctioneer’s next available
auction.
To approve the disposal of land adjacent to 18
Radiance Road, Wheatley by auction.
Option 1 - The recommended option is to
proceed with the disposal by auction. A number of surrounding
owners or occupiers may well be interested in this land and an
auction provides the opportunity to achieve a fast and effective
sale, hopefully resulting in a sale exceeding expectations. The
capital receipt will contribute towards the Councils Capital
Programme.
Option 2 - Take no action and leave the land vacant. The Council
have no use for the land and it will become a maintenance
liability.
Option 3 - Disposal by informal tender - this process would take
longer to complete and may result in a lower capital receipt
obtained.
