The small sites project aims to release sites
deemed surplus for the construction of residential
development
This report details sites recommended for disposal via the small
sites project and requests approval for their disposal.
The report also contains details of the objections received in
response to public open space notices on sites to be prepared for
disposal via Small sites project.
The report requests that these objections are considered in
determining the disposal of the sites for potential
development
(1) That approval be given to the disposal of sites as listed in Appendix A to the report, subject to there being no objections received in response to current notices advertising the disposal of the open space, and that any further objections received as a result of these notices be brought back to Cabinet for consideration and for a decision on the disposal of the site.
(2) That, having considered the objections to the disposal of sites listed in Appendix B, and the analysis of the objections as detailed in section 3 of the report, approval be given to the disposal of the two sites.
(3) That the process for the disposal of the sites as detailed in the report be endorsed and that authority be delegated to the Assistant Director (Physical Resources and Procurement) to negotiate and finalise the terms of any disposal of a site and any ancillary documents and agreements.
(4) That authority be delegated to the Assistant Director (Legal, Governance and Monitoring) to enter into and execute the instruments of disposition together with any ancillary documents and agreements.
(5) That, notwithstanding the resolutions (1) to (5) above, the disposal of the site at Naylor Street, Batley (site 18), be deferred pending the acquisition of the title deeds and, if acquired, holding a meeting with local residents to further discuss the future of the site.
