To consider and provide a recommendation to Cabinet on the proposals set out in the attached report. 

Additional documents:

Minutes:

John Antoniades, Estates Manager introduced the report set out in the agenda.

 

Discussion and questions from Members included the following:

 

-       The Investment part of the Asset Register included those properties which were income producing e.g. Colebrook Industrial Estate.  The freehold was owned by Tunbridge Wells Borough Council and leased to individual tenants. 

-       The Council continually looked for opportunities.  At Colebrook Industrial Estate a piece of land had been identified and was currently under consideration.

-       The only Industrial Estate owned by the Council was Colebrook.  The Council was not currently looking at anything on Kingstanding Way.

-       The Council was always open to looking at suitable potential investments.

-       Details of how the Property Asset Oversight Panel (PAOP) will operate were still to be worked out.  It was however noted that there should be as much transparency as possible.

-       Carbon emissions were considered as part of any project undertaken by the Council. 

-       The Council had recently submitted a bid for grant funding through Salex – the decision was expected at the end of this year, early next year. 

 

RESOLVED – That the recommendations to Cabinet as set out in the report be supported.
