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 approve the lease renewal including granting of additional land
and permission
to alter the exterior as set out in the approved planning
permission.

Reasons for the decision

The lease had reached expiry and a renewed
agreement was necessary.
Granting the additional space to the tenant will allow them to
create more space for tables
and formalise the bin store, and the proposed alterations of
screening and creating the bin
store will improve the appearance of this area.
The terms of the lease renewal are in line with the market. The
proposed lease renewal will
generate a revenue to support delivery of the Council’s
services and meeting the Council’s
obligations under Section 123 of the Local Government Act
1972.

Alternative options considered

Refusing to renew the existing areas
lease
or grant a lease to include the additional space would leave an
unused area and loss of rent.
This area of land abuts the pub which has a doorway leading
directly onto it which would limit
any alternative use.
