Land and Property Charter
Foreword
Our Public Land Charter is a clear statement of the partnerships ambition to be at the forefront of how we collectively use public sector assets.
The Charter was produced by the members of the East Midlands OPE partnership, under the leadership of the Strategic Estates Board.
The Charter aims to support collaboration and opportunities for development and regeneration in a way which unlocks wider benefits, outcomes and impact.
