RESOLVED –

(1)     That Cabinet agrees the appropriation of the land adjacent to 6 Burns Drive, Grassmoor, for housing purposes under Section 122 of the Local Government Act 1972 as set out in the report. 

(2)     That Cabinet authorises the Solicitor to the Council to complete the memorandum executing the appropriation.  

REASON FOR DECISION – Appropriation of the land for housing purposes would facilitate the provision of an improved level of access to a fully adapted family home.  

OTHER OPTIONS CONSIDERED & REJECTED – Not proceeding with the appropriation was considered but rejected.  It would not make best use of the available open space or ensure that a fully accessible property is available to ensure the housing needs of the District.
