Decision details

Seeking declaration of property as surplus and authority to dispose of it.  

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

DECISIONS

36.2     The Lead Member RESOLVED to: (1) declare the property known as 8 Malling Hill, Lewes, surplus to the County Council’s operational requirements; and

(2)        delegate authority to the Chief Operating Officer to secure best value terms for a disposal in accordance with s. 123 of the Local Government Act 1972.

Reasons

36.3     The property offers no future operational use for the County Council and, whilst vacant, would continue to incur costs for security and maintenance. The Council is not in a position to lease this type of property, without incurring security of tenure and right to buy issues. The property would also require moderate level of refurbishment.
