Decision details

Decision Maker: Corporate Director Planning, Growth and Sustainability

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: No

Decision:

Consent to the assignment of Lease.

Reasons for the decision:

The proposed assignee provides a much stronger covenant than the assignor. The proposed assignee will continue to support delivery of the Council’s services and will help meet the Council’s obligations under Section 123 of the Local Government Act 1954.

Alternative options considered:

Not to grant consent to the assignment. This would result in the lease remaining with Harrisons of Buckingham Ltd and would lose the opportunity to gain a significantly better covenant.

Wards Affected: Aylesbury North;

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