Executive Decision Notice – 1 February 2022 Page 1 This notice is a public document also available to view on the Council's website www.hillingdon.gov.uk OFFICIAL EXECUTIVE DECISION NOTICE PUBLISHED BY DEMOCRATIC SERVICES Notice is hereby given that the following decision(s) have been made today by Cabinet Members at the London Borough of Hillingdon: Title of decision EXTENSION OF LEASEHOLD INTERESTS – January 2022 Reference No. 362 Date of decision Tuesday 1 February 2022 Call-in expiry date 5pm, on Tuesday 8 February 2022 Relevant Select Committee(s) Corporate, Finance and Property Services Select Committee Relevant Ward(s) Manor, Hillingdon East and Uxbridge South Decision made Cabinet Members making the decision Councillor Jonathan Bianco - Cabinet Member for Property and Infrastructure Councillor Eddie Lavery - Cabinet Member for Environment, Housing & Regeneration APPROVED That the Cabinet Member for Property and Infrastructure and the Cabinet Member for Environment, Housing and Regeneration, authorise the grant of an extension for the relevant period of 90 years to the existing leasehold interests as outlined in this report in accordance with the provisions of the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 1. Reason for decision Once a formal Notice is served on the Council under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993, the Council is bound to comply with the provisions and timescales in the Act. The Council will need to negotiate the premium to be paid by the leaseholder for an extension of the term for a further 90 years in each case. Once the Counter Notice is served by the Council, this triggers the negotiations for the premium payable for the lease extension. If a premium cannot be agreed, the Act provides for a tribunal to consider and fix the price to be paid.
