It was moved by Councillor Swindlehurst,

Seconded by Councillor Mann,

(a)  “That it be noted that at a Special Meeting held on 2^nd November 2022 the Cabinet resolved as follows:

1.1  Noted that the plan of the land to be appropriated for development attached to both the Cabinet and the Council reports mistakenly referred to the land shown edged red on the plan, whereas in fact the proper extent of the land to be appropriated is the land shown edged orange on the planattached at Appendix B of this report. The land shown edged red on the plan attached to the earlier reports is the footprint of the larger Montem site, and includes land that is not being appropriated.

1.2  Agreed to appropriate the Montem site to planning (shown edged orange on the plan attached at Appendix B of this report) under section 226 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 on the grounds that the acquisition will facilitate the carrying out of development, redevelopment or improvement on or in relation to the land, and the proposed development, redevelopment or improvement is likely to contribute to achieving the promotion or improvement of the economic, social or environmental well-being of the whole, or any part, of their area

1.3  Agreed that officers be authorised to take all necessary steps to appropriate the site (shown edged orange on the plan attached at Appendix B of this report) for planning purposes to facilitate the carrying out of development, redevelopment or improvement on or in relation to that land.

(b)  That the Council resolution of 22 September 2022 be revoked.”
