Decision:
9.1
|
The report
sought approval of the Sheffield Land and Property Plan (Corporate
Asset Management Plan).
The City
Council’s land, property and assets have a significant role
to play in delivering services and shaping the future of the city
and its communities. The ‘Sheffield Land and Property
Plan’ sets out at a high level, how the City Council will use
and manage its assets to deliver its ambitions for
Sheffield. It provides a framework and
principles to guide decision making, and
maximise the benefits for the City and its people.

RESOLVED: That Co-operative Executive:-
- Approve the Sheffield Land and Property Plan attached to this
report.
- Note
that more detailed policies and procedures to support the Plan will
be brought forward for approval in accordance with the appropriate
corporate decision-making process.

9.3
|
Reasons for Decision
|
|
|
9.3.1
|
The
Council’s land and property portfolio is a finite resource,
expensive to hold and maintain. Since the publication of the last
plan, there have been a number of
changes which have resulted in new challenges and opportunities for
the city. It is therefore increasingly important that the City
Council’s assets are used to best effect in delivering vital
services and priorities, whilst minimising the
cost.
|
|
|
9.3.2
|
The Plan
provides local people, Members and
officers with a clear statement of how the council’s estate
will be used to maintain and enhance service delivery and
contribute to the wider ambitions of the City balanced against the
financial constraints within which the Council now
operates.
|
|
|
9.4
|
Alternatives Considered and Rejected
|
|
|
9.4.1
|
The Council
could do nothing; but this would result in ad hoc decision making
and a lack of focus. With operational costs and maintenance demands
far outstripping available resources the whole estate will continue
to deteriorate eventually resulting in the closure of key council
buildings and the subsequent knock on
effect on service delivery for the people of
Sheffield.
