Cabinet received a report from the Chief Officer (Resources) which sought approval for amendments to be made (by way of deed of variation) to the restrictive covenant imposed by the Council on the sale of property back in 1998, and for the approval of the transfer of three small parcels of land around the edge of the site.  The report was exempt from publication by virtue of Paragraph 3, of Schedule 12A of the Local Government Act, 1972.

The options, options analysis, including risk assessment and officer preferred option, were set out in the exempt report:
