The Cabinet Member is asked to consider authorising the grant of an easement over the land identified in the report on terms and conditions to be determined by the Asset Manager and Borough Solicitor.

The Cabinet Member for Procurement, Assets and Shared Services considered the proposed grant of an easement over Wilmslow Park, Wilmslow.

The Council had been approached by National Grid to grant an easement over land at Wilmslow Park. The land was designated as public open space and was currently managed by the Council’s Health and Wellbeing Department. The land was currently used for recreational purposes and was not subject to any other leases or licences to third parties. The laying of the pipes was scheduled to commence in spring 2011, with the route taking about a month to lay and back fill. The required working area would be securely fenced for both security and safety and this would allow the footpath through the park to remain open.

RESOLVED

That an easement be granted to National Grid over the land at Wilmslow Park, Wilmslow, as referred to in the report, on terms and conditions to be determined by the Asset Manager and the Borough Solicitor.
