Is Key decision?: No
Is subject to call in?: No
1. That approval be given for Trafford Council to grant a licence to the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government for a site on Moss View Road School Site, Partington, on the Heads of Terms as attached to this report.
2. That the Corporate Director for Place be authorised to agree any minor amendments that may be required to be made to the heads of terms in order to facilitate the grant of a licence.
3. That the Corporate Director of Governance and Community Strategy be authorised to enter into any legal documents required to facilitate the appropriate transactions.
4. That this report be considered as 'urgent business' and the decision exempted from the call-in process, for the reasons set out in the report.
To address the need for a LTS in the Partington area. Without a site, residents in Trafford and specifically Partington will continue to struggle to access testing, which in turn hampers Trafford’s efforts to tackle COVID.
Due to the requirements around the site ideally needing to be owned by the Council and the feedback that the site needed to be in Partington, but not directly in the centre of Partington, this was considered the only option for a LTS. The car park next to the health centre was considered before being discounted following feedback from community groups.
