Agenda item

The Executive RESOLVED that

(i)           a premium of £28,400 to grant access rights over a Council-owned accessway shown coloured brown on the plan in Annex 2 to the agenda report, be accepted; and

(ii)          authority be granted to the Head of Legal and Democratic Services to conclude the agreement for the grant of rights of access.

The Executive considered a proposal to grant rights of access over a Council-owned accessway in order to enable a development of 61 sheltered apartments at Park Street, Camberley to proceed. Planning permission had been granted on appeal on 4 May 2020 for the demolition of buildings on the site and the erection of 61 sheltered apartments with associated access, electric buggy/cycle store, refuse bin store, landscaping and 61 car parking spaces.

The Council owned the accessway to the entrance of the site and had entered into an agreement with the site owner and the developer on 20 November 2018 to grant access rights over the accessway. However this agreement had now expired. In order to now progress the development, the site owner and developer wished to renew the agreement. It was proposed that the renewed agreement would also grant the developer the right to pass service media underneath the accessway. The proposed premium payable to the Council was £28,400, which was supported by a valuation dated 5 October 2022.
