That members note:

i.       the decision taken by officers to offer an option on a parcel of council-owned land, consistent with the council’s scheme of delegation, and;

ii.          the work being undertaken by officers to enable the efficient movement of vehicles to/from the site whilst minimising nuisance to local residents.

A report was submitted to review the process which led to JCB’s decision to invest in the Blue Planet building and in particular to enable members to review the Officers’ decision to offer an option to develop Council-owned land at a later date. The main reason for making this decision was to facilitate economic growth for the long term economic well-being of the borough.

Members all agreed that this was a fantastic development and requested that the all officers involved in the project be thanked.
