Decision details

To consider declaring the property surplus to County Council requirements and options for disposal

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

DECISIONS

37.2     The Lead Member RESOLVED to: (1) Revise a previous surplus declaration decision made on 28 November 2011 and to now approve the disposal of the property, which will include settlement of a charge held over the asset by NHS England; and  

(2) delegate authority to the Chief Operating Officer to ensure best value is reasonably obtainable, subject to the terms of the Capital Grant Agreement noted.

Reasons

37.3     Earlier decisions to secure the asset for specialist care use have been amended following subsequent reviews of service provision. The property has no future operational use for the Council and whilst it is vacant the property will have ongoing costs for security and maintenance.
