Council land and buildings

Council papers proposing to sell, lease or transfer land or buildings that name Castle Hill Road. A paper naming a street is not checked to be about a site on it. Property details are often in exempt (private) papers that councils don’t publish, and this site only sees what is published, so this list is partial: a sale or lease decided in private may not be here at all.
