Councillor Julian Thompson-Hill presented the confidential report recommending Cabinet approve the declaration of the farm and land identified as surplus to requirements and its subsequent disposal.

Cabinet considered the merits of the proposal and noted that disposal conformed with the Council’s agricultural estates strategy and would generate a capital receipt, albeit that a small service pressure would be created due to the loss of rental income.  Councillor Joan Butterfield raised some general queries regarding the disposal of agricultural estates and she was directed to the Agricultural Estates Working Group.

RESOLVED that Cabinet approves the declaration of Bodynys Farm, as shown edged red on the plans attached at Appendix A to the report, as surplus to requirements and approves the disposal of the farm.

The meeting concluded at 1.15 p.m.
