09/11/2017 - Land Exchange at Yew Tree Cottage, Coleman's Hatch, Hartfield

28.1     The Cabinet considered a report by the Chief Operating Officer

28.2     It was RESOLVED to:

            1) approve the exchange of land held by the Ashdown Forest Trust with Yew Tree Cottage as set out in Appendix 1 of the report; and

            2) delegate authority to the Chief Operating Officer to agree the terms of the exchange and to take any action necessary to give effect to it.

Reason

28.3     The exchange is considered to be in the interests of the Trust increasing the woodland owned by the Charity, formalising the current use of the land and will result in the absorption of land typical to much of the surrounding area in to the Ashdown Forest.
