Approval for the acquisition of four
properties in Victoria Road and Pensbury Street, Darlington.
An opportunity has arisen for Darlington Borough Council in
collaboration with Tees Valley Combined Authority, to acquire four
properties at Victoria Road and Pensbury Street.
To acquire in collaboration with TVCA the
vacant possession of four properties in Victoria Road/Pensbury
Street.
Reason - In order to bring forward the Bank Top Project to help
improve access to Bank Top Station including public transport
interface areas, car parking and improved public realm.
Alternative option is not to acquire the
properties however it is considered advantageous to acquire the
properties now, with vacant possession, avoiding any future
increase in their capital value and/or acquisition under Compulsory
Purchase order.
