Decision details
Freehold sale of 240 m² land at Ross Road Ledbury
Decision Maker: Director of Economy and Place (Historic)
Decision status: Recommendations Approved
Is Key decision?: No
Is subject to call in?: No
Purpose:
1. The land comprises a small area being the
building footprint.
2. The sale is to the Trustees of the Ledbury Rifle and Pistol Club
for the sum of £7,500. They already own the building and have
had a ground lease of the land which has 6 years unexpired at a
rent of £300 per annum.
3. The surrounding site was transferred by way of freehold
community asset transfer to Ledbury Rugby Club in 2015 but the
Rugby Club did not want to take on the Rifle Club tenancy as
landlord.
4. The Ledbury Rifle and Pistol Club did not meet the criteria for
a Community Asset Transfer but purchasing the land would enable
them to secure a long-term future at this location and access
funding for development.
