included, along with other privately owned land, in the designated
EZ.
All the EZ land is being actively marketed, and is being sold
according to independent land valuations and the EZ Land Disposal
Policy which was approved by cabinet member on 7 January
2016.
Sustained progress has been achieved with well over 50 acres sold
to date.
The sale of the land is on a freehold basis. The purchaser will not
accept or proceed with the purchase on any other basis.
This sale has the full endorsement of the Hereford Enterprise Zone

business units for rent.
The decision to sell this plot supports council policy to use
capital receipts from sale of land within the Enterprise Zone to
fund the capital expenditure on installing necessary infrastructure
across the site. The latest council decision to incur this
expenditure is available via this link:
