Decision details

Declaration of the propoerty as surplus to operational requirements and delagation of authority to dispose of the asset.

42.1     The Lead Member considered a report by the Chief Operating Officer, together with the written comments in support of the recommendation from the Local Member.   

DECISIONS

42.2     The Lead Member RESOLVED to (1) declare the asset surplus to operational requirements; and

(2) delegate authority to the Chief Operating Officer to secure best value through disposal in accordance with s123 of the Local Government Act 1972.

Reasons

42.3     The property cannot be adapted further to meet the changing physical needs of residents.  The quality of accommodation is neither large enough or modern enough to meet needs and aspirations.  Major improvements to the property are not financially viable and the footprint, space available and limitations of the configuration of the existing building make redevelopment of the current layout for supported housing use unviable.
