Issue details
Leasehold Alterations, and Housing Parcel of Land Sales Policies
The Council’s policies for alteration of leasehold properties, and that for the disposal of parcels of housing land were last reviewed and agreed by Cabinet in 2011 and 2004 respectively. However, resident’s expectations and council priorities have changed over this period which has necessitated re-examining these policies.
The council’s sale of housing owned land policy and procedure seeks to ensure that land sales are dealt with consistently and best value is always sought.
Retaining the policies in the current form would not serve the aspiration of the council and that of the residents. Therefore, it is of significant importance for the council to refresh its policies to be consistent and equitable to the residents’ expectations and its aspirations.
