Report of the Strategic Director, Resources (copy attached).

(1)         That Cabinet agrees in principle the disposal to The Community Stadium Ltd of land that previously formed part of Park Wall Farm (shown on plan attached at Appendix 1) on long leasehold for 125 years and that agreement to the terms of the disposal be delegated to the Strategic Director Resources in consultation with the Cabinet Member for Finance and Central Services.

17.1         The Cabinet considered a report of the Strategic Director, Resources making recommendations for the disposal of land that was previously part of Park Wall Farm for a car park adjacent to the Community Stadium site.

17.2         Councillor Theobald questioned the need for an additional recommendation in the Part Two report at Item 23. He asked whether consideration had been given to using the site as a Park & Ride facility on non-match days.

17.3         The Head of Legal & Democratic Services explained that it would have been difficult to report the additional recommendation in the public report with making reference to the confidential information.

17.4         Councillor Kitcat advised that by disposing of the land in this way the council was fulfilling the obligations entered into by the previous Administration and that consideration of a Park & Ride facility was not a factor.

(1)         That agrees in principle be given for the disposal to The Community Stadium Ltd of land that previously formed part of Park Wall Farm (shown on plan attached at Appendix 1) on long leasehold for 125 years and that agreement to the terms of the disposal be delegated to the Strategic Director Resources in consultation with the Cabinet Member for Finance & Central Services.
