Decision details

The Council owns a very small area of land adjacent to the former Bull Public House on Rainham Road South.  Developers intend to bring forward a development at the site and it is considered that a better public frontage at the prominent location can be achieved with the inclusion of the Council’s land.

The Cabinet will be asked to consider the sale of the Council-owned land based on an independent valuation and other terms.

Cabinet resolved to:

(i)  Agree that the Council disposes of the area of land, as shown edged red in the plan at Appendix 1 to the report, to Rainham Road South Limited (a subsidiary of Hollybrook) on the terms set out in Appendix 2 to the report;

(ii)  Delegate authority to the Strategic Director, Inclusive Growth, in consultation with the Head of Legal Services and the Cabinet Member for Regeneration and Economic Development, to agree the final terms and contract documentation to fully implement the sale of the site; and

(iii)  Authorise the Head of Legal Services, or an authorised delegate on their behalf, to execute all the legal agreements, contracts, and other documents on behalf of the Council.
