Issue details

Full Council (May 2022) meeting resolved that:

1) The sale of land to at Brunswick Street, as shown edged red in appendix 1 to Torbay and South Devon NHS Trust be approved;
2) The capital expenditure for the creation of a new car park at the junction of George Street and Brunswick Street, Teignmouth be approved. As illustrated edged in green in appendix 1; and
3) Delegated authority be given to the Head of Place and Commercial Services in consultation with the Head of Legal Services and Portfolio Holder for Corporate Resources to approve the final sale terms and take such decisions necessary to carry out the above decisions.

The first resolution did not proceed due to the NHS withdrawing from the sale.

However, an enabling package of works has been completed on the George Street site to remove redundant fuel tanks, ground investigation, and commissioning external specialist consultants (Total £77,773.65 spend).

This enabling work informed the design of the wider car park and culvert development. Following a competitive open tender process the best value tender has a cost totalling £442,366.00.
