PRIESTHORPE ANNEXE, MORNINGTON ROAD, BINGLEY Previous references: Minutes 78 (2016/17), 29 and 85 (2017/18) and 21/6/18
The City Solicitor will present a report (Document “X”) in relation to the Priesthorpe Annexe, Mornington Road, Bingley which is held by the Council as Trustee of the former Bingley Science, Arts and Technical School.
This property has been considered at a number of previous meetings of the Trustees including, most recently, on 21 June 2018 when it was resolved, amongst other things:
“That, having sought expressions of interest, the Interim City Solicitor, in consultation with the Assistant Director – Estates and Property, be authorised to dispose of the Priesthorpe Annexe, Mornington Road, Bingley to Party “D”, this party having made the highest unconditional offer.”
The report explains that it had come to light that Party D has instructed its solicitors that the sale should be to a connected company (referred to as ‘Party I’). The Trustees are therefore asked to consider a further report from the independent chartered surveyor and to decide on what basis the sale should proceed.
Recommended –
That the sale of the Priesthorpe Annexe, Mornington Road, Bingley proceed to Party “I”.

The City Solicitor then informed the Trustees that the Town Council had asked that the Foundation stone of the building be preserved and he indicated that negotiations could be undertaken with the proposed purchasers to ensure that it was protected.
Resolved –
(1) That the sale of the Priesthorpe Annexe, Mornington Road, Bingley proceed to Party “I”.
(2) That the City Solicitor, as solicitor for the Trustees, be authorised to negotiate with the proposed purchasers of the building to ensure the preservation of the 1888 Foundation stone, as shown in the photograph tabled at the meeting.
