Decision Maker: Corporate Director Planning, Growth and Sustainability
Decision status: Recommendations Approved
Is Key decision?: No
Is subject to call in?: No
Decision:
To lease Suites 12 & 13 Porters
Lodge,
Reasons for the decision:
Porters Lodge forms part of the wider Old
County Hall / County Court complex of buildings comprising 8
individual office suites over 3 floors. Over the last few years the
office suites have been used as flexible office / meeting space but
on the whole have been vacant.
Kempton Carr Croft have been marketing the property on a floor by
floor or individual office suite basis. Suites 6,7,8, 10 & 14
are already let and we currently have an offer for Suite 4. This
would leave only Suite 5 vacant.
It has been confirmed that this building does not form part of the
Council’s future accommodation strategy.
Alternative options considered:
The proposed use fits with the view that
Porters Lodge will remain as office accommodation in the
longer-term strategy for the OCH complex. The only alternative
would be to leave the suites vacant.
Wards Affected: Aylesbury North;
Details of any conflict of interest declared: There are no known conflicts of interest.
