Decisions:
The Committee had before it a report by the Director of Resources which provided details on an unsolicited approach from a 3rd party seeking to lease or purchase a site at Beach Esplanade to develop as a ‘Lodge Park’ tourism accommodation facility.
The report recommended:-
that the Committee –
(a) instruct the Chief Officer - Corporate Landlord to advise the applicant that the site is not considered suitable for this use, and accordingly, they would be unable to enter into discussions with the applicant for a lease or sale of the site; and
(b) instruct the Chief Officer - Strategic Place Planning to consider whether this type of use could be accommodated elsewhere within the masterplan work being undertaken around the Beach.
The Committee resolved:-
to approve the recommendations.
