Alternative options considered

Option 1 - Grant a licence - Proposed - facilitates a local facility.
Option 2 - Not granting consent - not proposed - would prevent local facility being created.
Option 3 - Completing a freehold transfer of the land - Not proposed - the land is owned within the HRA for housing purposes. Procedures involved would be at cost and would detract resource from other priorities.
