To consider extending the term of the existing
lease of The Arches, 1-3 Braybrooke Terrace, Hastings in order to
enable the tenant to secure funding for major repairs and
alteration works.
Decision Maker: Lead Member for Resources and Climate Change
Made at meeting: 01/10/2021 - Lead Member for Resources and Climate Change
Decision published: 14/10/2021
Effective from: 01/10/2021
Decision:
37.1 The Lead Member considered a report by the Chief Operating Officer, together with exempt information contained in a later agenda item.
[Post-meeting note: Councillor Daniel, the Local Member, indicted his full support for the recommendations]
DECISIONS
37.2 The Lead Member RESOLVED to (1) agree to the proposed lease extension and terms in respect of the letting of The Arches 1-3, Braybrooke Terrace, Hastings, contained in the exempt report at a later agenda item; and
(2) delegate authority to the Chief Operating Officer to approve the final lease negotiations and take any other actions considered appropriate to give effect to Recommendation (1) and to secure best value in accordance with the Local Government Act 1999.
Reasons
37.3 To meet future grant funding, it has been identified that some funding providers are asking for a minimum of a 20 year term to secure against, and similar funding programmes are expected to be released over the next two years. The existing lease has less than 10 years remaining and therefore a 25 year will allow Project Art Works (PAW) to be able to qualify for funding over the medium term. If the longer lease term is not secured, the risk is that significant funding will be not be achieved.

The costs of the planned service provision are within the programme budget submitted at the time of the approval of the Software as a Service and implementation contracts.

The report will ask the Lead Member to approve
the response to the consultation by Lewes District Council and
Rother District Council on changes to their Council Tax Reduction

circumstances.
Decision Maker: Lead Member for Resources and Climate Change
Made at meeting: 01/10/2021 - Lead Member for Resources and Climate Change
Decision published: 14/10/2021
Effective from: 01/10/2021
Decision:
35.1 The Lead Member considered a report by the Chief Operating Officer.
DECISIONS
35.2 The Lead Member RESOLVED to approve the responses to the consultation by local billing authorities on proposed changes to their Local Council Tax Reduction Schemes for 2022/23.
Reasons
35.3 Lewes and Rother District Councils are consulting on changes to their Local Council Tax Reduction Schemes (LCTRS) for 2022/23. Whilst the proposals address particular concerns within each authority, the impact of the reduction in income will be felt for County Council services that support the needs of residents across the whole of East Sussex. The responses to the consultations reflect the negative impacts and recommends not supporting the proposed amendments to the LCTRS.
