Purpose

To
consider a report on the Pipeline of Asset Disposals.

Content

(a)          
That
the proposed pipeline for asset disposals as a key mechanism to deliver the
Strategic Asset Management Plan, generate capital receipts and support the
delivery of the Council Plan, be approved.

 

(b)          
That authority
be delegated to approve disposals of individual assets identified on the
disposals pipeline (as set out in Appendix A of the Cabinet report 11 November
2025) each with an estimated value exceeding £500,000 and method of disposal to the Executive Director for Place in
consultation with the Cabinet Members for Property, Assets &
Economic Growth and for Finance & Capital Strategy and the Section 151 Officer.

 

Reason for the
decision

 

To reduce the Council’s property portfolio to a sustainable
level, generate capital receipts, and lower maintenance costs, while enabling
reinvestment in core assets. Disposals and asset transfers would empower
communities, support regeneration and housing delivery, and ensure more
efficient use of resources in line with Dorset Council’s priorities.
