Minutes:

A question had been received from Councillor Nick Allen as follows:-

 

“My question relates to Agenda Item 7 about the sale of land at Lakeside. Why is this proposal to sell only part of Plot 1 and not the entire site? Will the remaining land be included on DMBC’s Asset Register. Would it be possible to enhance the role of councillors in the disposal process by creating an Assets Management Committee?”

 

Mayor Ros Jones gave the following response:-

 

“The proposal to dispose of part only of plot one reflects the nature of the offers received. The site was marketed for as a whole or in parts. The recommended offer reflects a good balance of land value and the location of the area to be sold creating a better opportunity for both enhanced land receipts from the remaining land and also ease of future development via the creation of a roadway through the site. No offer was received for the whole site and the other offers received were not acceptable from a planning perspective and/or did not amount to an appropriate land value. I can confirm that the remaining land stays on the Council’s schedule of assets allocated for sale.

 

The role of Councillors in the disposal process is recognised and accommodated via consultation at the stage that an asset is allocated for disposal and at Assets Decision Board where a decision to dispose to a recommended party is approved by Portfolio Holder (Councillor Blackham)

 

Given the above information in response to your question, I remain satisfied that the disposal of Council land and property assets is properly reviewed and is informed by a robust process with appropriate consultation and member involvement in decision making”.
