Decision details

On 25 September 2025, the Lead Member for Resources and Climate Change considered the outcome of the responses from members of the public concerning the intention to dispose of the site. Approval was given to market the site on the open market.  Following a marketing period, the Lead Member will consider offers made and the analysis. A decision will be made regarding the organisation that is to purchase the site.

54.1     The Lead Member considered a report by the Chief Operating Officer.

DECISIONS

54.2     The Lead Member RESOLVED to:

1) Review written offers submitted following the marketing of the ‘Playing field adjacent to Tilling Green Community Centre’ (‘the Site’) as set out in Appendix 1 to the exempt report; and

2) Note the change in external operating context and consequentially agree to retain the asset for alternative future use.

REASON

54.3     Whilst disposal of the site would represent a capital receipt to the Council, the potential future opportunities now available for the site are considered to be a preferable route to pursue.
