To enable the
Regimental Museum to secure its presence in the town of Brecon,
given the imminent closure of Brecon Barracks in 2027 and an
appropriate use is made of this prominent listed building whilst
supporting the Council’s Vision 2025 objectives.
To ensure the Grade
2 listed former Library does not sit empty for a prolonged period
of time, given that the proposed occupier is currently operating
from another building in Brecon when under normal circumstances the
Purchasers would be continuing the existing use of the surplus
property.
To reflect the sale
at a capital receipt lower than Market Value due to the intended
use of the building.
To ensure that the
Council is able to recover value should
the property be resold at any time within the agreed overage period
of 10 years.
