RESOLVED

The Cabinet received and considered the agenda report and its two appendices, the second of which was Part II confidential exempt material.  

This item was briefly introduced by Mr Dignum before he deferred to the officers to present this item.

Mr Bradshaw and Mrs McKay were in attendance for this matter.

Mr Bradshaw summarised sections 3 and 5 of the report and Mrs McKay referred to section 6.

Mrs Kilby said that she had spoken with CDC’s housing team and she was able to confirm the position as set out in section 6.2 of the report.

In reply to a member’s question, Mr Bradshaw explained why the property would be sold by auction rather than by private treaty and Mrs McKay confirmed that on legal advice CDC’s position would be appropriately protected by, for example, an overage clause.
