Issue details
Sale of The Offices Stevens Walk Buckland Newton
Reason
for Decision:
West
Dorset District Council decided to place this property prior to the creation of
Dorset Council as it could not be rented out reliably as business
premises. The Council therefore decided
to sell it for conversion to residential use.
A sale was agreed in April 2019 but, due to the necessity for a planning
application and the registration of the transfer of a parking area acquired
from the neighbouring owner, the transaction has only just reached the point
when exchange of contracts is likely within the next few weeks
Alternative
options considered and rejected:
Not
