Decision details

Approval of Lease, The Forum, Borough Road

Decision Maker: Director of Economic Growth and Neighbourhood Services

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: No

Purpose:

In order to satisfy lottery funding requirements the existing leaseholder has asked for an extension of their existing 15-year unexpired lease to run for a period of 30 years.

It is cleaner and simpler to surrender the existing lease and grant a new 3-year lease.

The Leaseholder has also recently changed their company status to a ‘Society’ name and request that their new identity be recognised within the Lease.

Decision:

That the existing unexpired lease be surrendered and approval be granted of a 30-year lease to the newly named Society, with all terms under their existing lease being transferred.

Reasons - The grant of a 30-year lease to the Society will assist in their application for Lottery Funding which, if successful, will be used to improve the building and facility at The Forum, Borough Road.
