Decision details

The Director - Planning & Growth presented a report concerning a review of the London Road Car Park extension scheme which was requested in response to a petition presented to the Full Council on 7 March 2019. The report referred to four options open to the Council in respect of the scheme. However, when presenting the report the Director – Planning & Growth advised that an approach had been made by the solicitors acting for Datch Properties Limited, who now owned the site, which revised the terms in relation to the first option set out in the report, and a further proposal for a new or revised lease for a 30 year term at £25k per annum which would not require a car park to be built on the green space.

The Committee agreed that this was a significant proposal and therefore further time was necessary to consider the new information which was being reported.

AGREED     (unanimously) that in light of the new information which was reported to the Committee, the item be deferred for consideration by the Full Council at their next meeting to be held on 12 October 2021.

Reason for Decision

To enable full consideration of the new information that was reported to the Committee.
