Land Transactions - former Richard Cloudesley school site

Report of the Town Clerk.

Minutes:

Members considered a report of the Town Clerk in respect of changes to the land transaction arrangements previously authorised by the Committee, as set out in the report.   Members noted that the changes sought to ensure the land was held appropriately and to remove the risk of the scheme being impeded by injunction due to right of light infringements.

 

RESOLVED: That:

 

1.    the  Director of  Community and Children’s Services be authorised to:

 

a.    conclude negotiations and final terms of the acquisitions and disposal in accordance with the principles set out in this report;

b.    take any other steps as required in connection with any related documentation and associated transactions as may be necessary to complete the steps at recommendations 1 to 3 in the report; and

c.     implement the development in accordance with the principles in this report, and instruct the City Solicitor to enter into all necessary legal documents. 

 

2.    the Rights of Light Advisors, acting for the City as developer of the site, be instructed to proactively approach affected rights holders to offer appropriate compensation for release of their rights of light, on the basis set out in paragraph 14 of Appendix 1 of this report.
