Orpington Ward

Report DRR15/042

It was proposed to declare two areas of land, totalling 100 square metres, surplus to Council requirements to enable their sale to the developer of adjoining land. It was confirmed that the land would have no value to anyone else.

Members noted that, until it was sold, the Council had a duty to maintain the land. Officers were undertaking a study to accurately identify all such small parcels of land in the Council’s ownership and had met with Affinity Sutton, as most of the land was on their estates. Disposing of these small plots would reduce maintenance costs. 

RESOLVED that the Resources Portfolio Holder be recommended to declare the two plots of land adjoining 111 Eldred Drive surplus to Council requirements and authorise their sale.
