The report proposes that the council take a 250-year head lease of the Denman Place site so it can manage and maintain the external communal areas. The areas will include grounds, woodland, lighting, roads, pavements, play facilities, signage, litter and waste management, with costs shared between the council and Hyde Housing Association.
