Decision Maker: Mid Suffolk Cabinet
Made at meeting: 04/06/2018 - Mid Suffolk Cabinet
Decision published: 05/06/2018
Effective from: 14/06/2018
Decision:
Councillor Gowrley, the Cabinet Member with responsibility for Assets and Investments, introduced report MCa/18/05 and moved the recommendation with an amendment. This was seconded by Councillor Burn.
It was agreed to add into paragraph 4.5 of the report, within the criteria as (f), that it would need to meet strategic purposes.
Members were concerned as the new Assistant Director was not yet in post whether she would have a different approach, however, it was agreed the relevant Ward Member would be involved in the decision process and the opposition groups would also be kept informed.
A Member questioned within the criteria in paragraph 4.5 whether ethical standards would also be considered. It was felt as long as the group decided on the purchase and it met the strategic priorities it would be ethical.
By a unanimous vote.
It was RESOLVED:-
(1) That the establishment of a Strategic Property and Land Fund of £3 million, from the Growth and Efficiency Fund be approved in principle, subject to a revised allocation process.
Reason for Decision: To enable the Council to react and secure, when required, strategic property and land, as an investment opportunity, and to assist future housing building and economic growth within the district.
