Decision details

To approve proposed contractual arrangements for the transfer and disposal of land at Greendale, East Dulwich

Having declared a non-pecuniary interest Councillor Sarah King withdrew from the meeting while this item was being discussed and a decision was made.

It was not possible to circulate this report five clear days in advance of the meeting. The chair agreed to accept this item as urgent because consideration of the report was required in order to ensure implementation of the proposed decision could be achieved prior to the expiry of the planning consent for the development scheme.  Delaying the decision would risk the council’s ability to ensure all necessary delivery arrangements were in place prior to the deadline for expiry of the planning consent, which would ultimately result in the failure to deliver both the new sporting facilities and the wider development.

RESOLVED:

1.  That the proposed land transfer arrangements for land at Greendale, East Dulwich, in line with the principles set out within the report, including acceptance of a freehold transfer of land from Greendale Property Company Limited (or their successors in title) and disposal of a long leasehold interest to Dulwich Hamlet  Football Club Limited (referred to herein as “Dulwich Hamlet FC”, “DHFC” or “the club”) be agreed.

2.  That the finalisation of the detailed contractual terms for the proposed land transfer arrangements be delegated to the director of planning and growth to agree in line with the principles set out in the report.
