The proposed disposal of the Pier Street Regeneration Opportunity to Sandown Town Council (STC) is set to be considered by councillors on the policy, finance and resources committee.
Located opposite Sandown Pier, the building has been used as public toilets between 2019 and 2025 for around three months of the summer season, according to a council report.
“The Pier Street site is a high-profile regeneration opportunity in an important tourist destination on Sandown seafront and was identified as part of the former Regeneration Directorate’s approved regeneration strategy,” it says.
“Planning consent was obtained for a regeneration scheme, and the site has been marketed twice, albeit on both occasions proving abortive.
Committee members have been recommended to endorse the transfer of the freehold development opportunity at Pier Street to STC for the ‘notional sum of £1’.
