This report makes recommendations that the council should acquire certain parcels of land within the site of the proposed Otterpool Park Garden Town and to enter into options to purchase other areas. It also seeks delegated authority to purchase additional sites.

Decision type: Key

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Notice of proposed decision first published: 13/06/2018

This decision will be taken under urgency procedures.

Reason for urgency:
The council has been negotiating with various owners in the Otterpool Park area. It is apparent that some wish to sell. It is considered that the council should acquire the relevant properties as soon as possible and whilst the owners are willing to dispose of their properties. It is not in the council’s or the present owners’ interests to delay the transactions.

Decision due: 18 Jul 2018 by Cabinet

Lead member: Councillor Dick Pascoe, Cabinet Member for Property Management and Environmental Health dick.pascoe@folkestone-hythe.gov.uk
