The report considered options for the future ownership of 11 grade II listed, Housing Revenue Account (HRA) properties at Coastguard Cottages, Victoria Parade, Ramsgate. It detailed the estimated costs of essential structural repairs to the buildings and the potential capital receipts that could be achieved for the disposal of the properties and land.
The report recommended that Cabinet approve the piecemeal disposal of these properties as they become vacant. It recommended a HRA revenue budget of £30,000 for work to facilitate the disposals, to be offset against the receipts obtained. It further recommended a HRA capital budget of £324,000 for essential works at 5 of the properties, with funding vired from the HRA Major Repairs Reserve.
