The Committee
RESOLVED:
 
1. (unanimous vote in favour)
To approve the closure report for the Property Task and Finish
Group.
 
2. (unanimous vote in favour)
To approve the Corporate Landlord Surplus Asset Process subject to
the wording at para. 10 of the report being amended to read as
follows:
 
The Corporate Landlord will
determine which assets will form an effective and efficient estate,
including where assets are surplus to requirements. The Strategic
Asset Management Plans will help facilitate and define surplus
assets in partnership with service areas. Operational assets are
determined surplus when they meet any of the three criteria below,
or all three where applicable:
• They are no longer
required for operational delivery (for example, not delivering
services for three months).
• A strategic decision has
been made to streamline delivery in line with corporate
priorities.
• There is not sufficient
revenue budget to maintain the asset to be safe, compliant and
suitable to deliver services.
 
Once an asset is determined
surplus, the Corporate Landlord will take a holistic estate view to
determine its best future use.
 
3. To note that the Corporate
Landlord Asset Management Strategy will be brought back to the
Strategy and Resources Committee for approval.
