The Chief Executive (and delegated Officers) undertook subsequent negotiations and completed the acquisition of the asset (in consultation with the Chief Finance Officer, the Leader and the Cabinet Member for Finance).

Reasons for the decision:

The site will deliver a steady income stream once developed which will support the Council to deliver its ambitious housing and regeneration programme across the Borough to help meet the needs of its residents.

The site is a key element in the emerging regeneration plans for Staines town centre.
