Decision:

To grant a one year lease to Buckinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust for the
provision of community clinical services

Reasons for the decision:

The property is currently vacant.
We have been negotiating with the Trust for some time to find a suitable venue in Friars
Square for the provision of community services. This is a joint venture between,
Buckinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust, Oxford Mental Health NHS Trust and the Council.
Locating these valuable services within the shopping centre, will increase footfall to the
centre, and in turn is expected to produce additional income for the retailers as well as car
parking income for the Council.

Alternative options considered:

We have looked at other available units within Friars Square, but this was agreed as being the
best location.

Wards Affected: Aylesbury North;

Details of any conflict of interest declared: There are no known conflicts of interest.
