There was submitted a joint report by the Acting Director of Development & Housing Services and Director of Finance & Resources relative to progress and developments to acquire land by compulsory purchase to implement the proposed City Deal infrastructure development.
The report advised that planning permission relative to the Compulsory Purchase Order (CPO) had been approved and provided updates in terms of acquisition of land interests. The report also updated details of land and the list of owners and interests within the Glasgow Airport Investment Area Compulsory Purchase Order Land Schedule for inclusion in the Renfrewshire Council (Glasgow Airport Investment Area, City Deal)(Number One) Compulsory Purchase Order 2018.
It was noted that the powers to be used for the CPO were provided by the Roads (Scotland) Act 1984 and that, as a consequence, there had been refinements to the specimen design for the project. In addition it was noted that the First Minister had announced, on 11 December 2017 that the Netherton Farm site had been chosen as the location for the new National Manufacturing Institute for Scotland.
