Decision details

To request a variation to the sale terms of Ollerton Hall from those agreed at Cabinet in July 2023 to allow the proposed development to go ahead.

AGREED That the Portfolio Holder for Strategy Performance & Finance and the Portfolio Holder- Sustainable Economic Development approve the variation to the terms agreed at Cabinet as detailed in Section 2 of the report below.

To dispose of Ollerton Hall and secure the long-term future of the building.

If this proposal was not met with an approval, then the alternative to the disposal to the current proposed purchaser would be to offer the site up to the open market once again. This has been done several times already with great difficulty due to the scale of the project and the conservation issues for the site. It is also highly likely that the building condition would deteriorate further and present a greater overall project cost (impacting on final sale price).
