22/02/2018 - Not to Initiate the Disposal process

Not to initiate the disposal process in respect of a Council Dwelling in Marlborough Close Clacton-on-Sea. The disposal process was begun by the tenant under the right to buy process. The tenant died before that disposal was completed. Family members requested that the sale of the house continued to them but that request was refused because the right to buy rules do not allow that and therefore they requested that the sale continued outside of the right to buy rules. A feasibility appraisal was carried out but concluded that the retention of the property to meet social housing needs was of overriding importance.
