16/00065d – Land at Stock Lane, Wilmington, Dartford

The sale of the assets will secure a capital receipt to fund the capital programme.

Legal Implications: None

Equality Implications:  None

These matters are referred to in the Infrastructure Business Plan and the Medium Term Capital Programme.

As Cabinet Member for Corporate and Democratic Services, I agree to the sale of land at the five sites listed below, on the terms set out in the Exempt Report, and to delegate authority to the Director of Infrastructure, in consultation with the Cabinet Member for Corporate and Democratic Services, the Director of Finance and Procurement and the Cabinet Member for Finance and Procurement, to finalise the selected purchasers and terms of the proposed sales.
