Presenting a report outlining the proposed change to policy, PKC's strategic lead for Property Services Stephen Crawford told elected members: "The purpose of this report is to update and seek approval to update and amend the 2013 Disposal of Land and Buildings Policy to reflect the need to prioritise affordable housing delivery with any surplus land and buildings."
