Decision:

Minutes:
The Cabinet Member Finance introduced the report which sought a Cabinet decision on incorporating land currently considered General Fund Open Space and to appropriate this to HRA Housing in order to form part of a wider plot area for development. She explained that the site had an access road off Princess Elizabeth Way. The land was held as open space and was not accessed by the public. The appropriation would create additionality when linked to the adjacent Monkscroft site in order to provide new homes for social tenants. She reported that two objections had been received in response to the advertisement of the appropriation but these were not relevant.
