Decision details

Development Site The Grange Midhurst

Decision Maker: Cabinet

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: Yes

Is subject to call in?: No

Purpose:

A report to Cabinet to recommend a preferred bidder for the Grange development site at Midhurst, following updated marketing of the site.

 

The Public are likely to be excluded from any discussion at which this report is considered on the grounds that it is likely that there would be a disclosure to the public of ‘exempt information’ of the description specified in Paragraph 3 (Information relating to the financial or business affairs of any particular person (including the authority holding that information)) of Part I of Schedule 12A to the Local Government Act 1972.

 

 

Decisions:

The Cabinet considered the confidential report and its three appendices circulated with the agenda to CDC members and relevant officers only.

 

The report was introduced by Mrs Keegan.

 

Mrs McKay was in attendance.

 

Mrs McKay answered members’ questions and comments on points of detail.

 

Mr Dignum allowed Mr A M Shaxson, the CDC ward member for Harting and the leader of CDC’s Independent party group, to address the meeting briefly; he received a response from Mrs McKay.  

 

It was agreed by the Cabinet and with the advice of the senior officers present to include an additional recommendation for the Cabinet’s approval, which would be a new third recommendation and so the original third recommendation would now be the fourth one.

 

Decision

 

The Cabinet voted unanimously on a show of hands in favour of making the following resolution.

 

RESOLVED

 

(1)  That the bids received as set out in appendix 2 to the agenda report be noted.

 

(2)  That further negotiations with bidder E be authorised as set out in para 5.1 of the agenda report.

 

(3)  That the Head of Commercial Services be authorised to enter into a conditional exchange with bidder E after consultation with the Cabinet Member for Commercial Services.

 

(4)  That in the event that conditional exchange of contracts does not take place by the given deadline the site is to return to the market on the basis set out in para 5.2 of the agenda report.
