Reference to the land has been removed from this issue but the 28 day statutory publication for the intention is deemed to have been fulfilled as part of this original entry.

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 Dumpton Park Drive, Broadstairs and Freemen's Way, Deal in consultation with the Cabinet Member for Corporate and Democratic Services.

Stock Lane, Wilmington, previously listed as part of this decision has been withdrawn.
London Road, Westerham, previously listed as part of this decision has been deleted and is now at 14/00068(a)

This decision will secure 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 should planning permission be granted, to ensure that the capital programme is delivered and to minimise holding costs. Without the decision, KCC will be unable to respond to offers in a timely fashion without losing the prospective purchaser. This would affect the delivery of the capital programme and increase holding costs.
