Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: No

Decision:

The grant of a new lease to Galore East (t/a Menkind).

Reasons for the decision:

Unit 2-3 Friars Square is currently vacant. The grant of a new lease to Menkind will generate a positive revenue to support the Council’s services and will meet the Council’s obligations under Section 123 of the Local Government Act 1954. The letting will additionally activate the unit over the Christmas period and bring a new user in to Friars Square and the wider town centre.

Alternative options considered:

Not to grant the lease. This would result in the unit remaining vacant over the Christmas period, which would be to the financial detriment of the Council.

Wards Affected: Aylesbury North;

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