To instruct legal to prepare and issue a new
periodic licence to document the occupation of the land by
Nightingales Residents Association for the purpose of dog walking
and recreational activities by the residents only. There are to be
no commercial activities to be undertaken on the land.

Reasons for the decision

This decision is in accordance with our
disposal policy, as documented within ADC Asset Management
Strategy.

This site forms part of the Asset Review and whilst the aspirations
are to undertake a feasibility for development, the anticipated
timeframes for delivering an outcome remain in the medium to long
term due to the complexities of the site.

Having the site occupied during the interim period benefits both
organisations and avoids any potential of adverse possession claims
or unwanted trespassers.

The licence would include adequate break options, be personal to
the association, non-assignable and will include a modest rent of
£100pa payable annually in advance.

Due to the unusual configuration and restricted access to and from
the site makes it incredibly challenging to offer the site to the
market seeking alternative uses or other individuals wishing to use
the land for grazing.

Alternative options considered

a) Leaving the land vacant. Ongoing
risks.
