Decision

• Formerly the village school, the
building was occupied for a number of years as a private
kindergarten and nursery since the new school was built c. 1974.
The last tenant vacated during 2022 and the property was returned
to the council.
• The property is surplus to the council’s needs. It was
offered to strategic housing but considered unsuitable due to the
high cost of renovation.
• Local agents ran a formal tender process to elicit bids in
the open market from interested parties; the results are listed in
the appendix.
• The successful bidder made the highest offer.
