Decision details

The subject of the decision

The Estates Manager submitted a report which sought members approval of the terms of disposal of Council owned land in central Workington.

Executive considered the report proposing the disposal of an area of land at Central Car Park, Workington to North Cumbria Integrated Care NHS Foundation Trust for the development of a new Community Diagnostics Centre.

This was agreed in principle however it had been identified that the valuation report that had been obtained did require some further information to fully comply with the technical guidance relating to S123 of the Local Government Act so an amended valuation report would be required prior to confirmation of the decision to dispose of the site.

Councillor M Fitzgerald moved the recommendation; it was seconded by Councillor A Pitcher. The motion was unanimously agreed.

Alternative options considered
