Minutes:

The Cabinet Member for Prosperity considered a report seeking approval to complete a number of outstanding land transfers and legal agreements in respect to the Macclesfield Learning Zone Project.

 

To fully cover the statutory Foundation, voluntary aided/voluntary controlled and Academy school transfers, the report sought to regularise the position and provide a blanket approval to all statutory transactions and provide the Assets Manager and Borough Solicitor with the necessary delegation and consent to complete the land transfers and ancillary legal agreements.

 

The Cabinet Member for Children and Family Services, who was present at the meeting, supported the proposal.

 

RESOLVED

(1)   the proposed land transfers, as shown on the revised plan circulated at the meeting, and the necessary legal agreements, including 125 year lease for the transfer of the Macclesfield High School to Academy status, as detailed within the report, be approved;

 

(2)   any subsequent legal agreements required in order to finalise the original scheme under the over arching agreement, dated 17 February 2006, in relation to the Macclesfield Learning Zone, be approved for completion on terms and conditions to be agreed by the Borough Solicitor and Assets Manager; and

 

(3)   the additional blanket approval regarding Foundation, Academy and voluntary aided/voluntary controlled, statutory school freehold and 125 year leasehold transfers and all ancillary legal agreements, as detailed within the report, be approved.
