APPENDIX 3 DEFINITION OF LAND AND PROPERTY CATEGORIES
DEFINITION OF LAND AND PROPERTY CATEGORIES We set out below our recommended categories of assets, with those identified in bold being land and property assets which should be reviewed as part of the land and property asset management plan. Operational - Direct service property (excluding that used for or in direct support of residential activities) Property in which the authority has a legal interest, either freehold or leasehold, which is occupied by local authority staff for the direct provision of its services. This category includes: Schools Libraries Sports centres and pools Residential homes and day centres Parks Museums and galleries Crematoria (land and buildings) Cemeteries (land and buildings) Land associated with direct service property Other direct service property Operational - Indirect service property Property in which the authority has a legal interest, either freehold or leasehold, which is occupied by a third party but to which a degree of subsidy is likely to be given to achieve service objectives. This category includes: Tenanted farms Starter units, depots and workshops
Off street car parks Land associated with indirect service property Other indirect service property Operational - Office and Administrative property Property in which the authority has a legal interest, either freehold or leasehold, which is occupied by local authority staff to provide administrative support for services. This category includes: offices administration buildings land associated with administrative property Non-operational - Investment Property in which the authority has a legal interest, either freehold or leasehold, which is not being used to meet service needs, i.e. is not being used for operational reasons, and is let to third parties. Non-operational - Surplus/vacant Property in which the authority has a legal interest, either freehold or leasehold, which is not being used to meet service needs, i.e. is not being used for operational reasons, and is vacant and surplus to requirements.
These proposals are summarized in the table below. Those assets identified in Italics are not covered in this research.
