Decision details

In accordance with Access to Information Procedure Rule 14 Members had been asked to note that this matter has not been included in the Forward Plan of Key Decisions to be taken between 1 January 2010 and 30 April 2010.  Prompt action was, however, required in order to meet the planned implementation date and it would be impracticable to defer the decision until it could be included in the next Forward Plan. 

The Chairman of the Environment and Prosperity Scrutiny Committee had agreed that in accordance with Scrutiny Procedure Rule 13 this decision would be considered as urgent.  The decision was therefore exempt from call-in on the basis that any delay caused by the call-in process would be likely to seriously prejudice the Council’s or the public’s interest and would mean that the Council’s timetable for implementation of the proposed off-street parking places order could not be met.

Consideration was given to the report of the Borough Treasurer and Head of Assets on the appropriation for car parking purposes of certain parcels of land belonging to the Council.  The report included details of objections received to the proposed appropriation and these were considered by the Cabinet .

RESOLVED

For the reasons set out in the report: -

In accordance with section 122 of the Local Government Act 1972, and following consideration of the objections received in relation to the proposed appropriation of the land described within Appendix 1 to this report, that approval be given to the appropriation of the land for parking purposes.
