The Committee resolved to approve
that:
 
The Development Sub-Committee, with support
from officers:
 

1.   
Progress a comprehensive mixed use, phased masterplan strategy for
Council owned site in Staines,
 

2.   
Identify suitable development delivery options for Council owned
sites, in other parts of the Borough and not included as part of a
comprehensive Staines masterplan or subject to early disposal to
mitigate high holding costs,
 

3.   
Identify and progress options for mitigating holding costs via:
 
a)   
Early disposal of sites, which have high monthly holding costs and
are not suitable for inclusion in a comprehensive masterplan for
Staines-upon-Thames,
b)   
Work to obtain fixed costs for the demolition of Thameside House to
offset high holding costs,
c)   
Temporary lettings for those sites which will continue to remain in
the Council’s ownership in the medium to long term; and
d)   
Delegate authority to the Development Sub-Committee to agree the
terms and completion of lettings where these are not covered under
the Officer Scheme of Delegation.
