Decision:
That, subject to the response to the public space advertisements, approval be given to the transfer, by way of 125 year lease, of land adjacent to the Salinae Centre, Middlewich, shown edged red on the plan attached to the report, to Middlewich Town Council on the terms stated in the report and to other terms to be agreed by the Property Services Manager.
Minutes:
On 5 September 2011 it was decided by the Cabinet that a number of properties should be transferred to the Town or Parish Council for the area in which the properties are located as a first phase of the Local Service Delivery -Transfer and Devolutions to Town and Parish Councils process, and that certain other properties be considered for transfer with the decisions as to whether to sell being delegated to the relevant portfolio holder(s).
The land now under consideration fell into neither of these two categories but has since been identified as an appropriate asset to be devolved to the Town Council. The 125 year lease to Middlewich Town Council will be based upon the standard heads of terms and, as it will prohibit a change of use, no overage agreement will be required.
The purpose of this request is to enable Middlewich Town Council to erect a Memorial Stone at the field adjacent to Salinae Centre, Middlewich that commemorates people who lived and worked on the canals and the salt works of Middlewich. The terms of the transfer were detailed in the report and at the meeting.
