Reference: D616

Decision Maker: Portfolio Holder for Corporate Resources and Performance

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: No

Purpose:

To seek approval to sell 8 electrical substation sites (Sites) throughout the Gedling Borough to the current occupiers - Western Power (WP) as shown coloured pink in the plans at Appendix 1.

Decision:

THAT:
the Sites are sold for £3,500 each to WP, a total of £28,000 for all 8 sites.

Reasons for the decision:

(a)it is unlikely that there would be another interested purchaser for the Sites
(b) sale of the Sites will provide the Council with a capital receipt
(c) there will no longer be any maintenance liability associated with Labray Road.

Alternative options considered:

An alternative option would be not to sell the Sites to the special purchaser. As the sites produce very little income and have no current alternative use, the capital received from the sale would appear to be a more preferable alternative.
