Purpose

Agreement is sought for a number of sites vested within the Neighbourhood Services portfolio, which are listed within Appendix A, be declared surplus as they are no longer required by the portfolio for service delivery.

Decision

That the sites listed within the report be declared surplus to the requirements of the Neighbourhood Services portfolio.

Reasons for the decision

The sites are not required to carry out the delivery of services by the Housing Service or any other service within the Neighbourhood Services portfolio.

Alternative options considered

The sites have been considered as sites for the Council’s new build Council housing Stock Increase Programme, but this is currently not seen as the best option to deliver new affordable homes.
