Is Key decision?: No
Is subject to call in?: No
Decision:
To sell to Last Mile Electricity Ltd for a
token sum of £1, approximately 25m2 of land on Broom Way for
the purposes of erecting and electricity sub-station
Reasons for the decision:
The Hughenden Quarter Upper Site is the final
part of a local long-term regeneration strategy begun by Wycombe
District Council some 15 years ago.
The Upper Site plans are for an estate of lock-up type light
industrial workshops (HQube), a 68 unit residential block for
affordable sale, and the upgrading of the access road (Bellfield
Road) to adoptable standard.
In support of these development proposals the site has been
provided with electricity, water, telecoms and drainage services.
This decision is in connection with the electricity supply and is
for a transfer of land for siting of an electricity
sub-station
Alternative options considered:
There was no practical alternative for the
decision to install a substation – the electricity supply in
the vicinity was not adequate for the envisaged demand.
- Alternative locations for the substation were considered but for
technical reasons in connection with supply cable lengths and
on-going access and maintenance requirements the site proposed was
considered to be the most appropriate.
- A long lease instead of a freehold disposal was considered but no
significant advantage in this was identified.
Wards Affected: Downley;
Details of any conflict of interest declared: None
