SAWSTON: 57/59 HIGH STREET, DISPOSAL OF COUNCIL PROPERTY ON OPEN MARKET

Decision

Reasons

RECOMMEND TO CABINET that, In the event of no further RSL interest in the redevelopment of 57/59 High Street, Sawston and subject to further local consultation and to independent valuation advice that supports an expectation of a higher capital receipt with residential planning permission for no. 57, the Council

i)                    obtain planning consent for change of use of 57 to residential; and

ii)                   place whole property for sale on open market, valued for retail use (no 59) with potential for residential use above (no 57).

Obtaining planning permission for change of use of the upper floor to residential is likely to attract a higher valuation of the property overall, thus increasing the capital receipt.
