DECISIONS

 

18.2     The Lead Member RESOLVED:: (1) to agree to enter into a 25 year lease at a market rent, with rent-free period corresponding to the Tenant’s initial building works; and,

 

(2) To delegate authority to the Chief Operating Officer to negotiate and agree the terms of the lease.

 

Reasons

 

18.3     The Libraries and Information Service has no requirement for operational use of the property, and a long lease (exceeding 14 years) is appropriate, which would restrict use of the property to community or leisure purposes in accordance with existing planning permission.
