That it be
DETERMINED to dispose of the Council’s freehold interest in
land and buildings shown edged red on the Plan at Appendix 1
for nil consideration to the Roman Catholic Diocese of
Shrewsbury.

Reasons for the decision

Under the School Standards & Framework Act 1998
(the Act) (Schedule 3, Part II, paragraph 4) the Council is
required to transfer land (other than playing fields) which is held
or used by a local authority for the purposes of the school to the
governing body, the foundation body or the trustees of any school
that falls within the remit of this legislation.  The land is to be transferred for nil
consideration, to be held by them for the purposes of the
school. 

The disposal facilitates compliance with this
statutory obligation.
Noting this supports the decision made to issue a 125 year lease
for the playing fields on acdemisation which can be found
here.
