Land at Davy Road, Astmoor, Runcorn
Additional documents:
Minutes:
The Board considered a report of the Strategic Director, Enterprise,
Community and Resources, on the acquisition of the freehold interest in land at
Davy Road, Runcorn.
Members were advised that the site referred to, edged red on the plan attached
to the report, housed a derelict single storey building. The site provided an
opportunity to improve access into adjacent handback land from the Mersey
Gateway so as to create a larger quality redevelopment opportunity.
The report set out a number of options for Members’ consideration. It
was noted that the proposal supported the Borough’s regeneration objectives; Astmoor had been identified as one of eight locations where
the new Mersey Gateway Bridge and the reconfigured road network had the potential
to open up land and stimulate new development and an area for growth.
RESOLVED: That
1) the
acquisition of the freehold interest in land at Davy Road, Astmoor
for the amount reported in paragraph 3.11 be approved;
2) the
Board approves the land in Davy Road as surplus to requirements and to be sold
for redevelopment included in the Astmoor Masterplan;
and
3) the
Operational Director, Economy, Enterprise and Property be authorised to arrange
for all required documentation for the transactions to be completed to the
satisfaction of the Operational Director, Legal and Democratic Services.
