Page 55 of agenda for EDDC Cabinet merting of 4 June 2014:

Marketing of Knowle/Manstone

It was our aim to carry out a marketing exercise in time to report to July 2014 Cabinet and Council on developer interest. Land agents have been interviewed and, in discussion with the Relocation Executive Group, it is recommended the Council employs Savills, an experienced property agency, to manage a marketing exercise for Knowle and Manstone. The tendering exercise for the section of consultants has been completed, and marketing could commence. However, whilst all agents regard the sites as an attractive development proposition of significant value, their advice has been to hold off commencing marketing until there is clarity regarding the outstanding Town and Village Green application for parts of the Knowle.
