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
Rent Review: 10 New Pond Parade, Ruislip Manor Gardens
Reference No. 985
Date of decision Wednesday 13 December 2023
Call-in expiry date Wednesday 20 December 2023

Relevant Wards Ruislip Manor
Decision made
Cabinet Members
making the decision
Councillor Ian Edwards – Leader of the Council
Councillor Jonathan Bianco – Cabinet Member for Property,
Highways and Transport
Decision Approved
That the Leader and the Cabinet Member for Property,
Highways and Transport agreed the rent negotiated by
officers as detailed in th e report and instruct ed Property
and Estates to complete the appropriate rent review
memorandum.
Reason for decision Lengthy negotiations have taken place with the tenant and a
substantial rental increase has been agreed in principle,
resulting in an income increase for the General Fund. This
increase, showing a 20% uplift, is particularly positive in the
current difficult property climate, after the backdrop of lockdown
period and its peripheral effects. Officers are confident that this
is the maximum achievable rental increase for this rent review.
Alternative options
considered and
rejected
The alternative is not to approve the agreed -in-principle rental
increase for this rent review. This is likely to lead to the rent
review being referred for third party determination by arbitration.
This action will involve a degree of risk as third- party
determination may result in a rental figure being determined
above or below the rent negotiated between parties and result
in substantial arbitration fees on both sides.
