A review of the information held on our system in relation of disposals between 1 January 2019 and 31 December 2023 has been undertaken. There is no specific method of recording on our system what the future use of land that has been sold by the Council might be. However, within the description section of our system there is the opportunity for case officers to provide some commentary on future use. On that basis all disposals by the Council during the time period have been reviewed and attached is a list of those disposals which are identified on our system as having some potential residential usage. There is no guarantee that the sites have then been developed for housing use and equally there maybe other sites disposed by the Council where no record on future use has been held which may have been developed for housing
