The County Council has a responsibility for land, buildings and other assets within the county. In order to deploy and utilise these assets most effectively, the County Council produced an Asset Management Plan in July 2002.  The AMP is reviewed and updated annually.

Asset Management Plan.

The revised Construction (Design and Management) Regulations (CDM) came into force from 6 April 2007, following consultation with the construction industry.

Local Authorities are generally required to maximise the value of their assets, but recent government policy also stresses the importance of preserving open space for community use. The assessment and disposal procedure is designed to allow Councillors to make an informed choice on whether to maximise income, preserve community assets or reach some compromise between those two standpoints. See the Land Disposal Procedure for more information.

The County Council owns and manages a 3,000 hectare County Farms estate located throughout the county. The estate comprises let farmland, together with woodlands and areas of significant ecological interest, which enables the County Council to offer opportunities to rent farm properties, safeguard the biodiversity of the county and contribute to matters of rural interest both on a local and national level. See County Farms for more information.
