Purpose

To tidy up the titles following the completion
of the Honeycroft development in Lawford, whilst removing the
ongoing liability and additional cost of repairing/repurposing the
former service building.
Tendring District Council own a piece of land with a building on it
that housed all the services, tanks and meters etc for the previous
sheltered accommodation building that sat to the north of the
Honeycroft site, fronting Waldegrave Way. This is shown edged red
on the plan in Appendix A and includes some adjacent land in order
to straighten up the boundary.
To the east of the Honeycroft site there were some off road parking
bays not owned by TDC. These bays were included in the design and
redevelopment of the Honeycroft site as part of the off road
parking and access from Nicholls Close to the 3 new properties that
front that road. This land is shown edged blue on the plan in
Appendix A
Negotiations for the disposal of the land off Waldegrave Way and
the acquisition of the land off Nichols Close have been completed
with a straight swap agreed. The use of the land in Nichols Close
will be unrestricted, however the use of the building off
Waldegrave Way will be restricted to storage only. Covenants in the
Transfer Deed will reflect this and protect the Council’s
future position.
