Recommendation approved
 
Reasons for recommendations
To ensure the essential
refurbishment works are completed as soon as possible so that the
property can be occupied for residential supported housing for the
Council.
 
Other
options considered and rejected
Do nothing – rejected as
the current costs incurred for the office building being vacant
are.
a)          
Vacant Property Inspections
b)          
Utilities Standing Charges
c)           
Business Rates
d)          
Insurance costs
The above costs would be
avoided should the property occupied as residential supported
housing.
 
Sale of the property on the
open market – rejected as it was felt the value would be low
due to its current condition.
