Councillor Hotson
Councillor Wilson |
When a property becomes empty, its future use, or disposal, will be considered in accordance with the Council’s priorities and within the planning framework. Where the property is proposed for disposal, consideration will be given to leasehold or freehold disposal, and if the latter, further consideration will be given to the consequences of the property not being subject to The Council’s control by the inclusion, where appropriate, of suitable covenants in the contract.
The Parks and Leisure team will be reviewing and identifying amenity land suitable for transfer to the community. |

d) There is clarification within the plan on the apparent conflict between what is written at 6.8.1, bullet point two, (The implementation of an integrated parking strategy, in conjunction with the Local Development Framework, that considers Town Centre Car parks and on-street parking, the Park and Ride service, the associated revenue costs, car park income and congestion relief and carbon dioxide reduction) and 8.3 which details key areas for regeneration including car parks. |
Cabinet |
Officers preparing the Integrated Transport Strategy are aware of the strategic sites and will consider these in the final document. |

Extract from minutes - recommendation (d):
“The Officer highlighted two recent amendments to the document. The first was the date of the lease break clause for Maidstone House. This had been amended from 2015 to October 2016 (page 18, 6.3.7) and the second was a change to the wording which referenced ‘the integrated parking strategy.’ This now read ‘an integrated parking strategy (page 21, 6.8.1). Members felt that the ambiguity of the reference to the implementation of an integrated parking strategy which was still under development was conflicting with the detail given later in the document (page 26, 8.3) on regeneration which referenced car parks.”
