To consider the enclosed report seeking approval to declare land at Nine Days Lane surplus and readiness to market and the transfer of access rights to the Homes and Communities Agency (HCA).

Please note that there is an exempt appendix to this report which has been circulated to members of the Committee only.

The Committee received a report which sought approval to declare land at Nine Days Lane surplus and to transfer access right to the Homes and Communities Agency (HCA)

Members noted that the HCA was looking to develop a parcel of their land behind the Alexander Hospital for residential and employment purposes, and would be tendering their site for sale in the coming months.  An adjacent plot of land owned by the Council, which on its own held little value for the Council, would be required to provide access to any development on the HCA land. 

RESOLVED that

1)            the land at Nine Days Lane as outlined on the plan attached at Appendix 1 to the report, be declared surplus and sold in part or whole; and

2)            access rights across Redditch Borough Council land, if required, be granted to facilitate the proposed development scheme.
