Decision details

The applicants referred to in the report had made a request to acquire the land edged red to provide a bin store. The requested pedestrian fire escape was required in order to satisfy planning conditions as part of a proposed extension to the applicants’ existing premises.

The land was located within the boundaries of Princess Street Car Park, Knutsford but was not suitable to be included as chargeable spaces; the land was therefore surplus to requirements. The Cabinet Member for Environmental Services supported the recommendations.

RESOLVED

That

(1)   the land edged in red on the plan attached to the report be disposed of to the applicants;

(2)   an easement be granted to the applicants for the purpose of a pedestrian fire escape route over the land to the rear of 22/24 Princess Street, Knutsford as shown shaded brown on the plan; and

(3)   the disposal and easement to be subject to the total consideration referred to in the report, to the applicants meeting the Council’s reasonable legal and advertising costs and to such other terms and conditions as may be determined by the Assets Manager and Borough Solicitor.
