The Cabinet Member for Prosperity considered a request for the purchase of a strip of land adjacent to 8 Tanglewood Drive, Tytherington.
The applicants wished to buy the land to extend the size and regularise the shape of their garden. The land was located on the perimeter of Tytherington Woods and extended to 28.43 sq m/ 306 sq ft. It formed part of a larger area of public open space between the woods and the housing estate. The Health and Wellbeing Service had confirmed that the land in question was surplus to requirements and could be sold.
Under the Local Government Act 1972 the Council was required to advertise the disposal of public open space for a period of two consecutive weeks in the local press after which the Portfolio Holder had the option to reconsider his decision.
RESOLVED
That the Cabinet Member for Prosperity approves that the land adjacent to 8 Tanglewood Drive, Tytherington as shown on the plan attached to the report be disposed of to the applicants on terms and conditions to be determined by the Assets Manager and the Borough Solicitor.
