Decision details

Prior to the report being presented, Councillor Blase left the room.

The Director for Growth and Regeneration submitted a report to consider the disposal of land owned by the Council.

Members were given the opportunity to ask questions of officers and felt that the committee owed it not only to the members on the committee but also to the member involved to make the right decision to help avoid criticism and to ensure that any decision was beyond reproach.

A proposal was made to defer the decision on this item for a further valuation based on the land being residential and not low grade agricultural land by Councillor Higgins.

This recommendation was seconded by Councillor Botterill.

All nine Members present voted in favour.

RESOLVED that the Committee defer the decision on this item for a further valuation to be undertaken based on residential land and not low grade agricultural land.
