_________________________________________________________ 3. Background 3.1 This area of land, which is held on the Housing Revenue Account, extends to 90 sqm or thereby and is an area of open ground. The occupiers of the adjoining properties on Steeple Street, Kilbarchan have confirmed they do not wish to acquire the site. 3.2 The applicant has expressed an interest in acquiring this land to provide space for off street parking and an electric vehicle charging point for their use. Agreement on the purchase price has been reached; but this is subject to the Board declaring the ground surplus. 3.3 The applicant will be obliged to obtain planning permission for a change of use. 3.4 The land sold will be subject to an obligation to pay a share of maintenance and repair costs for the adjacent access lane, which is within Council ownership. This will reduce the Council’s ongoing maintenance and repair costs in this location. 3.5 The purchase price of the land will be at a level upon which delegated powers granted to the Head of Economy & Development for disposal purposes will be utilised. 3.6 The purchaser will be liable to meet the Council’s reasonable professional and legal expenses incurred in processing this transaction. 3.7 The Head of Housing has confirmed that this area of land has no operational requirement and is not opposed to the land being declared surplus. ___________________________________________________________________ Implications of the Report 1.
