Approval is sought for the Director of Property and Infrastructure
Support to progress with and enter into the necessary documentation
to complete the disposal of the property in consultation with the
Cabinet Member for Corporate and Democratic Services. The Decision
also seeks for legal agreements to be actioned to complete the
sales of the relevant properties.
The decision relates to the Bold Steps for Kent in securing a
capital receipt to fund the capital programme and to streamline the
Council's property portfolio in order to achieve financial and
efficiency benefits in line with the Property Policy.
The impact of the decision will be that the receipt will be
achieved as quickly as possible to ensure that the capital
programme is delivered and minimise holding costs. Without the
decision, KCC will be unable to respond to offers in a timely
fashion without losing the prospective purchaser. This will affect
the delivery of the capital programme and will increase holding
costs
