Disposal of land forming public open space

The Council is proposing the transfer of part of the land owned by the Council at Sutton Lawn Recreation Ground to the Sutton in Ashfield Recreation Grounds 2006 Charity.

The Council is the sole Trustee of the 2006 Charity.

This is the first step in the land swap process which will see this area of land swapped in return for land off Lammas Lane which is currently owned by the Charity.

This would mean that once the land swap process is complete, the Council would permanently acquire the land off Lammas Lane where the Lammas Leisure Centre is sited.

Subject to consultations and approvals, there would be no change to the use or management of either area of land from a public point of view.
