Decision details

RESOLVED that –

(a)       Cabinet thanks Councillor Placey for taking the time to explain her motion to Cabinet;

(b)       Officers continue with the process of assessing all unused land owned by the Council with a view to suitability for building council homes or sale as part of the process of asset management. Clearly a number of factors must be taken into account when making decisions in respect of each site, for example, whether there is a demand for council homes in that area and whether the site is suitable for such a use. In some cases disposal of the land may be a better option when everything is taken into account; and

(c)       a report, considering the options suggested in the motion, be presented at the Cabinet meeting scheduled for February 2021 with a view to presenting the outcome of Cabinet’s review to Full Council in March 2021.
