Issue details

Review of Property Holdings (Rolling Entry)

The County Council’s Future West Sussex Plan set out its ambition to minimise the burden of local taxation, delivering the best outcomes for residents with the money it spends, whilst living within its means.  In 2018 the County Council agreed to adopt an Asset Management Policy and Strategy. An objective of the strategy is to acquire, manage, maintain and dispose of property effectively, efficiently and sustainably, together with optimising financial return and commercial opportunities.  This includes identifying opportunities for rationalisation of assets and disposal or redevelopment of assets no longer required for operational purposes. Declaring properties surplus is part of the process to deliver the strategy and allows further decisions to be made regarding properties that are no longer needed for operational purposes.
