Decision details

The Cabinet had before it a *report of the Head of Housing and Property Services seeking authorisation to appropriate a parcel of land for planning purposes.

The Cabinet Member for Housing outlined the contents of the report stating that the land had not been used as public open space following the completion of the Pinnex Moor Development and having become surplus to the Council’s requirements it had been decided to dispose of it. Planning permission had been granted in 2011, he highlighted the legal process that had to take place if a third party made a claim to have required by prescription a right of way over part of the land.

Consideration was given to the Ward Member’s view in that development of the parcel of land would tidy up the area.

RESOLVED that the appropriation of the land shown edged in red on the plan (“the Land”) for planning purposes in accordance with section 122 of the Local Government Act 1972 be approved.

(Proposed by Cllr R L Stanley and seconded by Cllr P H D Hare-Scott)
