Sites adjacent to the former Nerston Residential School, Glasgow Road, East Kilbride – Disposal approved. 16 With reference to the minutes of 14th August 2014 (Print 3 page 229) approving the disposal of the development site at the former Nerston Residential School, Glasgow Road, East Kilbride to Cala Management Ltd (CALA), there was submitted a report by the Executive Director of Development and Regeneration Services regarding proposals by City Property (Glasgow) LLP in relation to 2 adjacent sites, advising that (1) the 2 sites, which were owned by the Council, were designated as greenbelt within the South Lanarkshire Local Plan 2009 and Site A comprised of low lying marsh land and Site B was held on an agricultural tenancy for grazing use by Mr David Leggat, a local farmer; (2) within the marketing brief for the sale of the former Nerston Residential School, interested parties were invited to submit proposals which included the 2 adjacent sites as part of a development scheme or through supporting green space for residential development and CALA’s proposal had been to utilise Site A for the placement of supporting utilities, including a sustainable urban drainage system pond, a pumping station and a temporary car park; (3) CALA had advised that the most cost effective way of draining the northern section of the former school site was for a drainage pipe to be installed through Site B to connect to the nearest drainage ditch and during negotiations with Mr Leggat regarding a servitude right for the installation of drainage pipes required by CALA Management Ltd, he had indicated that he wished to acquire Site B to continue farming on it; and (4) following negotiations, it was proposed that Site A be sold to CALA for £5,000 exclusive of VAT and that Site B be sold to Mr Leggat for £30,000 exclusive of VAT. After consideration, the committee approved (a) the sale of Site A to Cala Management Ltd for £5,000, exclusive of VAT, subject to the terms and conditions negotiated by the Executive Director of Development and Regeneration Services; and (b) the sale of Site B to Mr David Leggat for £30,000 exclusive of VAT, subject to the terms and conditions negotiated by the Executive Director of Development and Regeneration Services..
