The Rural Surveyor introduced the report which requested approval to negotiate, where possible, the relinquishment of leasehold interests in woodlands.

In response to Members’ queries the Rural Surveyor confirmed that the Authority’s Ecologists had been consulted and no concerns had been raised over the proposed woodlands for relinquishment, identified as coloured orange in Appendix 1 of the report.

The recommendation as set out in the report were moved, seconded, voted on and carried.

To authorise the Director of Commercial Development and Outreach in

consultation with the Chair and Vice Chair of Audit, Resources and Performance Committee, Head of Finance and Head of Law to surrender, assign or sublet leases of woodlands where possible in relation to the 10 leasehold woods identified in Appendix 1 of the report (coloured orange) and the remaining leasehold woodlands shown in Appendix 1 of the report (coloured yellow) if they become identified for disposal in similar manner.
