Minutes:

The Executive considered a report which recommended the delegation of authority to carry out the process for the appropriation of land within the approved alignment of the Northern Distributor Road (NDR).

 

The Executive Member for Strategic Highways and Planning introduced the report and confirmed that the Council owned a small parcel of land at Cantley Recreation Ground which was included in the planning permission relating to the NDR. The land was not used as part of the open recreation area or the formal playing fields.

 

The report stated that appropriation of the land would assist in the development of the NDR, specifically in smoothing out the current sharp bend in Bell Foundry Lane.  The proposal was compliant with the relevant statutory tests in the Local Government Act 1972 and the Town and Country Planning Act 1990.

 

In response to a question from Councillor Ashwell, Councillor Lee confirmed that the proposal would not impact on the provision of sports pitches and spectator facilities at Cantley Recreation Ground.

 

RESOLVED: That authority be delegated to the Assistant Director Delivery and Infrastructure in consultation with the Executive Member for Strategic Highways and Planning to:

 

1)         carry out the process of appropriation for part of the land at Cantley Recreation Grounds for the planning purposes of open space or other land within the Council’s ownership to that required to deliver the Northern Distributor Road (NDR) pursuant to Sections 122(1) and (2A) of the Local Government Act 1972 (the Act), Section 233 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 (as amended) and;
