Assessment of Nominations Under Community Right to Bid - Former School Site and Playing Field - Barrington
Minutes:
The Area Development Manager advised that although the report was for information, it was the first Community Right to Bid application which new Councillors had experienced and this was an opportunity to ask questions.
The Ward Member, Councillor Derek Yeomans, outlined the difficulties which had been experienced in establishing exactly who owned the land and the school buildings as they were a valuable site within the village and it was hoped to preserve them so they could not be sold for development.
The Area Development Manager confirmed that for the purposes of the nomination Somerset County Council were the landowners of the playing field and the school buildings were owned by a Trust. She also confirmed that the template for presenting completed assessments would be checked to include the named landowner in future.
Members were content to note the report.
RESOLVED: |
That the report be noted. |
