Transfer of land at Mabels Furlong, Ledbury

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: No

Decision:

To transfer two areas of land, each approx. 10 sq m, to a housing association at nil cost to enable the boundary of their adjacent site to align with individual housing unit plots
Two housing unit plots have encroached, and boundary fences had been erected, on Council owned land at Mabel’s Furlong Public Open Space, Ledury.
In each case the Council owned land that has been enclosed is a small area that was formerly part of a hedge line, which had not been maintained and was of minimal utility or benefit to the public open space. The disposal of these land parcels does not adversely impact on the remainder of the public open space.
As the value of the land parcels is nominal, it is not considered cost effective to obtain a formal valuation, and requiring payment of a nominal sum from the housing association is considered to be an unjustifiable administrative burden to both the council the housing association
