81.1 The Lead Member considered a report by the Chief Operating Officer.
DECISIONS
81.2 The Lead Member RESOLVED to:
1) Approve that the Council commence consultation under Section 123(2A) of the Local Government Act 1972 to dispose of the playing field adjacent to the Tilling Green Community Centre, Rye (the site); and
2) Note that the responses will be considered at a future Lead Member meeting, where it will then be decided if the Playing Fields should be disposed of.
REASONS
81.3 The site is allocated for housing in the Rye Neighbourhood Plan. Disposing of the site at a future date may therefore result in a capital receipt. However, in accordance with the Council’s obligations under Section 123 (2A) of the Local Government Act 1972, the Council must first advertise its intention to dispose of the site and consider any objections.
