Decision:

Exemption from publication: There are confidential appendices to this report, which are
exempt by virtue of paragraph 3 of Schedule 12A of Part 1 of Schedule 12a of the Local
Government Act 1972 because they contain information relating to the financial or business
affairs of any particular person (including the authority holding that information)

Grant a LTA’54 lease of Moorcroft Farm including approximately 24.11 acres and all
buildings together with the Farmhouse (excluding cellar) for a term of 5 years for residential
and livery purposes.

Reasons for the decision:

This is a continuation of the letting to the existing tenant who has occupied the property for
a considerable time. The new lease would incorporate the farmhouse. Under the new terms
Moorcroft Farm will be let at a market rent and on market terms.

Alternative options considered:

Another option would be to end the existing tenancy at will with the property becoming
vacant. This would lead to a void period and the reliability of a future tenant being unknown.

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