2.    That the Director of Finance in consultation with the Cabinet Member for Housing and Finance be authorised to dispose of the Council’s freehold interest in land at Edginswell Business Park, Orchard Way, Torquay, to Torbay and South Devon NHS Trust for Market Value on unconditional terms; and

3.    The Director of Finance be authorised to agree and finalise the detailed transfer terms based on estates and legal advice.
