There were two questions received from a Member of the Committee, in writing, prior to the Committee meeting. The questions and answers were provided in the supplementary agenda circulated prior to the meeting.

The Member who submitted questions asked a supplementary question about what had enabled past asset disposals and what the proposed timeline had been for the collaborative asset management agreement.

The Cabinet Member for Property and Waste explained that the Council had sold land to Tandridge District Council at a slight discount under Section 123 rules for a social housing project. Discussions had been ongoing about another site, but discounts had been legally limited, and some councils had lacked funds to buy land. Specific dates for the policy had been provided later.
