Agenda item

A report of the City Surveyor was received which advised of the changes that had taken place across the City’s operational property portfolio within the last 12 months.

During discussion, reference was made to the follow -

·        The City Surveyor informed the Sub Committee that four vacant flats in Spitalfield’s Market had been disposed of and the City was making changes where possible to support the Service Reviews.  In line with the Corporation’s Asset Management Strategy, work was being carried out to ensure assets were being utilised or disposed of where necessary.

·        The City Surveyor informed Members that the application approved by the Planning and Transportation Committee for the development of Smithfield Market had been called in by the Secretary of State; therefore the redevelopment of the site was on hold.

·        It was requested that in future reports, some comparable information be included.

The Sub Committee congratulated Officers on an excellent report.
