Decision

That a new thirty year lease for Torquay Recreational Ground Kiosks (as edged red in the submitted plan (Appendix 1)) be granted to the lease set out in Exempt Appendix 2.

Reasons for the decision

The premises have been vacant for several years and fallen into a state of disrepair.  The proposed leasee is going to repair and keep the premises in good and substantial condition.  This not only provides a rental income, but also alleviates the responsibility and cost of these premises from the Council.

Alternative options considered

The Council may choose not to grant this lease, however this would result in the Council baring the financial responsibility of repairing these premises whilst also receiving no rental income.
