Scrutiny Considerations

The Committee received a report from the Assistant Director (Development).

The Assistant Director (Development) updated their report and advised that properties at Brackyn Road were no longer being considered for potential redevelopment as part of the Davy Road site. The properties that were under consideration for redevelopment were 2-28b Davy Road, and the Council garages on the site. A consultation with residents would be undertaken after the pre-election period was over, with a view to providing a recommendation to the Committee in September 2024.

The Committee resolved by 6 votes in favour to 0 against with 3 abstentions to endorse the recommendations.

The Executive Councillor approved the recommendations.
