Decision details

To approve the disposal at auction of former HRA land and garage sites.

Councillor Peter Bilson presented the report on a proposal to dispose at auction, once outline planning approval for residential use had been obtained, sites within the Housing Revenue Account (HRA). The sites had been assessed as part of a review of a larger list of council assets that are currently underused or problematic and had been considered for housing development potential. 

Disposal of the sites in this manner would ensure that the Council achieved best consideration for the land.  Disposal should also ensure that the current poor condition of the sites would improve, at no further cost to the Council.

Resolved:

1.    That the disposal at auction of the land behind 6 Lewisham Road, in Oxley Ward, as shown on the plan attached at Appendix 1 to the report be approved, subject to obtaining outline planning approval for residential use.

2.    That the disposal at auction of the land to the rear of 44 Walter Road, in Bilston East Ward, as shown on the plan attached at Appendix 2 to the report be approved, subject to obtaining outline planning approval for residential use together with the grant of any required easements.

3.    That the disposal at auction of the former allotment site to the rear of 9 to 12 Elmdon Close, in Oxley Ward, as shown on the plan attached at Appendix 3 to the report be approved, subject to obtaining outline planning approval for residential use together with the grant of any required easements.

4.    That the disposal at auction of the garage site to the rear of 24 to 42 Highfield Avenue, in Fallings Park Ward, as shown on the plan attached at Appendix 4 to the report be approved, subject to obtaining outline planning approval for residential use.
