The report considered the revised requirements from the owner of Brent Hall for an access to the property from Warley gap.

A motion was MOVED by the Cllr Quirk and SECONDED by Cllr Sapwell to receive the recommendation set out in the report, subject to an amendment to 2.2. by the Chair.

2.2      That delegated authority be granted to the Strategic Asset Manager

to enter into negotiation with the applicant on the successful

conclusion of the consultation process for a 50% share in the uplift

to the value of Brent Hall and the existing curtilage of Brent Hall only and that the valuation in question be derived at the applicant’s cost by obtaining valuations from an RICS surveyor.

A vote was taken by show of hands and it was RESOLVED:

1.            That the consultation process through the Commons Act 2006 be undertaken in respect of the proposal submitted to upgrade the existing redundant access to Brent Hall subject to the full cost being borne by the applicant and subject to any planning permission being first obtained.

2.         That delegated authority be granted to the Strategic Asset Manager

to enter into negotiation with the applicant on the successful conclusion of the consultation process for a 50% share in the uplift to the value of Brent Hall and the existing curtilage of Brent Hall only and that the valuation in question be derived at the applicant’s cost by obtaining valuations from an RICS surveyor.

(Cllr Parker declared a non pecuniary interest under the Councils Code of Conduct by virtue of knowing the owner of Brent Hall and left the chamber and did not take part in the vote).
