Council's Asset Rationalisation

Highland's strategic planning committee (the PED Committee) will be asked to approve the assets listed in Appendix 1 (of the committee report) as surplus to the operational requirements of the Planning and Development Service at their meeting on 20/01/2010

Extract:

"The Planning and Development Service manages a wide variety of assets including countryside car parks, buildings and structures, vacant urban and industrial sites, footpaths, community woodlands and amenity land. In total these number some 225 sites throughout Highland. Some of these properties have been purchased for particular reasons, while others became the responsibility of the Service at the time of local government reorganisation in 1996 or subsequently due to Council Service restructuring.

In support of the Council’s Corporate Improvement Programme Asset Management Project, Planning and Development will be undertaking a staged review of the Service asset portfolio in order to rationalise this in relation to resources and service delivery priorities."
