making the decision
Councillor Jonathan Bianco - Cabinet Member for Corporate
Services and Property
Decision Approved
That the Cabinet Member for Corporate Services & Property
agreed with the rent and lease terms negotiated by officers
as detailed in th e confidential report and instruct ed
Property and Estates to complete the appropriate legal
documents.
Reason for decision Lengthy negotiations took place with the tenant and a
substantial rental increase was agreed in principle, resulting in
an income increase for the General Fund. Officers are confident
that this is the maximum achievable rental increase for this lease
renewal.
Alternative options
considered and
rejected
The Cabinet Member could have chosen not to approve the
lease renewal negotiated and consider alternative land
uses. However, this could have led to this lease renewal being
referred for PACT (Professional Arbitration on Court Terms) or
through the court process. This action w ould have involved a
degree of risk as PACT or court may result in a rental figure
being determined above or below the rent negotiated between
parties and result in substantial fees on both sides.
