To consider a report of the Executive Councillor (Finance)

The report proposes the disposal of Council owned land and property at the former Torkington depot for redevelopment purposes.  The property is no longer required for operational purposes and following the preparation of a planning brief, the site has been marketed for regeneration and development purposes.  Following marketing an offer has been received for the purchase of the site for redevelopment for residential use.  The proposed development, subject to planning approval, will comprise a residential care home and regeneration of existing listed buildings for ancillary uses to the residential home.

The Executive is recommended to approve the Disposal of the land and property and delegate to the Council’s Solicitor authority, in consultation with the Executive Councillor (Finance), to appropriate the site to planning purposes, if applicable, and enter into the appropriate legal documentation.
