Submitted - A detailed report together with options, by Mr
Martyn Williams, District Valuer, in response to a request by the
Charitable Trust on 6th July 2004, to provide valuation advice in
respect of an unsolicited offer from Company 'A' for the disposal
of Trust land at Rhosgoch.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Reported jointly by the Secretary and Treasurer - That
officers had been informed by the Welsh Development Agency that
another company had expressed interest in the site, but to date no
offer had been made. Further information had been received since
the completion of the District Valuer's report.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Treasurer also drew the Committee's attention to the
fact that Shell UK had retained a small area of land at Rhosgoch
and the rights to the pipelineand that prior to any decision being
made in respect of the disposal of Trust land, Shell UK should be
approached in order to ascertain their future intentions in this
respect.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The District Valuer reported that his Mineral Valuer was
experienced in and qualified to give advice upon the possible
contamination of the site and he would be happy to commission his
report should the Trust so wish. The District Valuer further stated
that he would require an authoritative report on contamination
issues either from his own Mineral Valuer or from another
appropriately qualified source prior to being able to give any
valuation certificate for submission to the Charity
Commission.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Ÿ That authority be given to the Chair and Vice-Chair
of this Committee together with
respective officers
to undertake further negotiations with Company 'A' and with
any other interested parties. That the outcome of these
discussions together with any
further information in respect of the disposal be reported
back to the Committee for
consideration.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Ÿ That officers be requested to evaluate the earlier
report available to the County
Council regarding possible contamination of the site and any
remedial costings.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Ÿ That officers be requested to advertise the proposed
disposal of the site in the Estates
Gazette and on
the Internet.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Ÿ That should any offer be received by another
interested company, that this should be
conveyed to the Trust
Secretary in writing.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Ÿ That authority be given to officers to ascertain
Shell UK's intentions with regard to
the small parcel of their land on site, and the
pipeline.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Ÿ
|
That authority be given to officers to continue to
work within the maximum sum of £20,000 allocated by the
Charitable Trust at it's meeting on 27 February 2002, towards
possible fees in connection with the disposal of the
land.

6.1 Memorial
Plaque
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Submitted - A Report by the Treasurer in respect of a
request for the erection of a memorial plaque on Charitable Trust
land on the west side of Amlwch Port.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Reported - That the application was being supported by the
local member. Installation and maintenance costs would be met by
the widow of a local man.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Treasurer stated that he would normally be guided by
any practice or policy adopted by the County Council in respect of
its property, but there was no specific policy applicable to this
case. However, another memorial plaque had been placed on
Council land to the east side of the Port. The proposed
location of the plaque was unlikely to interfere with any present
or prospective use of the land by the Trust.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Treasurer therefore invited the Sub-Committee to
decide on this particular application and a general policy for the
future, bearing in mind any general policy adopted in respect of
Council land.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
RESOLVED to agree to
such request, on conditions to be agreed by the Trust's officers,
subject to all installation and maintenance costs being met by the
applicant.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
6.2 Developments near Trust land at
Amlwch Port.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Reported verbally by the Treasurer - That on adjoining
land to the land owned by the Trust in Amlwch Port, there were
proposals by Welsh Water to develop a waste water treatment works.
Because Great Lakes Chemical Corporation, Amlwch had closed,
Company 'A' had proceeded to buy that land.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
As the Trust had sold this land to Great Lakes a few years
ago, it had retained pre-emption rights to buy back a very small
portion of land if Great Lakes closed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Treasurer saw no reason to exercise this right, which
he considered would have been payment for a liability. The
Valuation Agency had been asked to advise, and concurred. Following
consultation with the Chair and Vice-Chair of the Committee, it was
decided not to exercise this right.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Since then, the Treasurer had received a letter from Welsh
Water stating that it was not now their intention to proceed with
the waste water treatment works and associated landscaping work on
the Trust land.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
RESOLVED to note the information.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The meeting concluded at 12.20 pm.
