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).

To enter Wayleave Agreement with Southern Electric Power Distribution to permit them to lay underground electricity cable to serve Brunel Shed, Station Approach on behalf of their client (and our Tenant) Buckinghamshire New University.

The Council’s Tenant, Buckinghamshire New University (BNU), wish to increase their electricity supply at Brunel Shed, Station Approach, High Wycombe. BNU have contacted Southern Electric Power Distribution (SEPD) and they have proposed laying a new low voltage cable across a grassed verge area belonging to the Council.

A Wayleave Agreement between the Council and SEPD is therefore required. This will allow SEPD to install and thereafter maintain the cable for a small nominal fee.

The proposed Wayleave Agreement, agreed by the Council’s solicitor, is in the confidential appendix.

Not granting SEPD a Wayleave may mean BNU cannot enjoy full use of Brunel Shed or having to find a more expensive alternative solution.
