Decision
That the terms reported are approved and a
3-year lease be granted as set out in the report. 
That authority is granted to issue
instructions to the Director of Governance (Chorley and South
Ribble) to complete the standard lease agreement.
 
Reasons for recommendations
To promote economic growth in Chorley and to
generate revenue to ensure that the Strawberry Fields development
is financially sustainable.
 
Other options considered and rejected
To proceed without the grant of a lease would
place both parties at significant legal risk.
