Decision:

The Council grants Legal Services the authority to exercise the break option set out in the lease dated 10th April 2019 in respect of the land known as site 1 Ship Street High Wycombe.

Reasons for the decision:

The site is open storage space, which is currently occupied under a lease that provides the Council with the option to break it on giving 3 months notice. The Council is due to sell the land as part of a larger disposal transaction to Buckinghamshire College who will be redeveloping the site.

Alternative options considered:

The Council could choose not to terminate the lease, which would frustrate the larger disposal transaction to the College that was granted Cabinet approval in March 2021.

Wards Affected: Abbey;

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