Disposal Policy

The Disposal Policy is a key enabler as part of the Council’s Strategic Asset Management Plan (SAMP), ensuring property assets held by the council will be appraised and considered for disposal and potentially surplus to requirements.

Using the following policy principles

  • The asset no longer makes a positive contribution to delivery of council services
  • The revenue and capital demands to maintain far outweigh any income, financial or policy benefits
  • Has no potential for future strategic regeneration and/or redevelopment purposes
  • An alternative site can provide a more cost effective and efficient service
  • No adopted and resourced Council plan/policy/strategy, that could bring the asset into use in foreseeable future
  • The property or land is surplus to operational requirements and if sold would therefore contribute to the Council’s financial sustainability “
  • No potential advantageous shared use with partners (One Public estate/CAT)
  • The asset does not contribute towards the Council’s commitment to delivering and maintaining a zero-carbon, energy efficient estate.
