The Commission received representations about a proposed Scheme that would allow a new charitable company to become the sole trustee as the present trustee (Isle of Wight Council) no longer wished to be involved with the charity. It also proposed to amend some of the trusts of the charity and added a power of sale over part of the charity property.
The review was conducted by a senior manager in the Commission’s Operations division, who gave those who had commented on the draft Scheme the opportunity to clarify their representations by telephone.
Following careful consideration of the representations made to us, the reviewer decided the Scheme should be made with some modifications. The final Scheme:
- appoints the charitable company as trustee
- makes clear that the power of sale only relates to the land edged blue on the plan attached to the scheme and not the remaining land owned by the charity
A copy of the final scheme was available on the Commission website for three months from the date of publication (24 October 2012).
