Purpose:

The proposed sale of land at Winkfield Manor.

Decisions:

RESOLVED that

 

i.      authority be given to the Assistant Director: Property to arrange the joint marketing of Winkfield Manor, with Silva Homes.

 

ii.     authority be given to the Assistant Director: Property to sell land owned at Winkfield Manor to the highest bidder.

Reasons for the decision:

i.      To dispose of land in order to obtain a capital receipt for the Council.

 

ii.     To support the Council’s objective for the delivery of new homes. 

Alternative options considered:

i.      Provision of accommodation for people with special needs.  Although the site is in a reasonable location for the client group the overall site is too large for the number of units required.

 

ii.     Development of the site under a Joint Venture.  Due to the joint ownership of the site with Silva Homes and the advice from Savills that high value executive housing will maximise the receipt for the site, joint venture is not considered appropriate for the development.
