The Community Right to Bid allows communities and parish councils to nominate buildings or land for listing by the local authority as an asset of community value.

Garden Tenancies

A garden plot or site is a piece of vacant land adjacent to your property which you would like to occupy solely for garden purposes, and you believe is owned by the Council. Find out more about garden tenancies.

Land Sales Programme

The Strategic Land Review Programme sets out a list of land and buildings that the Council intends to either sell, develop in partnership or self-develop in the forthcoming year(s) together with a summary of the previous year’s outturn.

The Strategic Land Review Programme is an integral part of the Council’s asset strategy and is the conclusion of a corporate process of identification of surplus assets linked to service planning and an options appraisal process.

The Council strives to use its property assets in the most advantageous way possible for the community and to achieve its service delivery, financial and regeneration economic growth objectives.

You can search Council documents to find details on the current programme.

Lease Copy and Management Packs

If you are a Council tenant and need a copy of your lease, submit the form and the information will be sent to you. There will be a cost of £25 and this will be invoiced to the details you provide.

Sale or Re-mortgage Pack

In selling a property for which the Council owns the freehold, there will be information that both the seller and purchaser will need to know about the property and is usually required by your solicitor. If you are purchasing a property, you will not be able to request this information as it can only be provided to the current leaseholder or their solicitors.

If you are selling your property, you may need:

A notice of transfer - There will be a cost of £50 and this will be invoiced to the details you provide.
An up-to-date ground rent statement
A copy of your lease - There will be a cost of £25 and this will be invoiced to the details you provide

Use the form below to request the items you require.
