square metres and 25 square metres. In addition, it
specifies 5 bedrooms and a private sitting/dining room.
None of the properties comes close to this and all have inadequate space for visitors parking. There are also security considerations. The Middle Gap Road properties share a site which could be a problem if we were to occupy
either one. This could be obviated in theory by our obtaining the whole site for our use but this does not appear to be a practical proposition. Moreover, from a cursory examination of the location plans, it looks as though access to and from both the Middle Gap Road and Lloyd
Path properties could pose security problems, (though this
is a matter on which we need to seek Security Department's
views).

Because of its topography, the Middle Gap Road site does not have obvious potential for redevelopment. The Lloyd
Path bungalow would seem capable of supporting a two-storey
new build residence on the same site. But this would
depend, amongst other things, on the terms on which we were
able to acquire the property. Purchase at the stated capital value, followed by demolition and new build could work out very expensive; a further low-cost private treaty

also be planning restrictions which could rule out a new
build.

It would be simpler, quicker, and cheaper (all things
being equal) if we were able to obtain an existing two-storey building, broadly suitable in terms of external appearance, siting and parking facilities. If the internal accomodation was not readily suitable for representational purposes, we could easily convert.
