Decision details

The Cabinet received a report which sought approval to exercise an Option to Purchase the freehold of the High Wycombe Social Club building on Queen Victoria Road, High Wycombe; lease back space to the Club and also for storage for the town’s Chair Collection; refurbish and improve the building in the process, as part of the Future High Streets funded ‘Southern Gateway’ area improvement. Cabinet Members suggested that other options for development should be considered which would still meet the requirements of the Government funding.

RESOLVED – 

1) That the Council exercise the Option to Purchase the freehold interest in the High Wycombe Social Club (‘HWSC’) on Queen Victoria Road, High Wycombe

2) That authority be delegated to the Service Director – Property and Assets, in consultation with the Cabinet Member for Accessible Housing and Resources, to agree the terms of the purchase and further to agree the terms of entering into a lease for HWSC; and to consider other development options as appropriate on condition that this would not have any adverse impact on the Future High Streets funding from Government.
