The Council has experience of small- and medium-scale development for both commercial and residential purposes and wishes to explore the options for undertaking greater work in these areas to support the Council's priorities and to generate income. There appear to be significant benefits in meeting its priorities if the Council looks to develop a vehicle that would support construction and development.
