That all property within the red line boundaries on plan 1 and plan 2 be appropriated, in accordance with section 122 of the Local Government Act 1972 (as amended), from use for commercial purposes to use for planning purposes under S.237 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 (as amended).

A report was submitted to the Cabinet seeking authorisation for the appropriation of the sites at former St Giles’ and St George’s School in Barracks Road and land at the Ryecroft.  The reason for the action was to ensure that the sites were held for planning purposes under Section 237 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 (as amended).

The appropriation would make any third party interests that might exist, subject to compensation only and prevent any injunction being sought that could delay the redevelopments from proceeding.

Resolved:    That all property within the red line boundaries on plan 1 and plan 2 be appropriated, in accordance with section 122 of the Local Government Act 1972 (as amended), from use for commercial purposes to use for planning purposes under S.237 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 (as amended).
