Decision

1. The tenant’s existing lease has
expired and a tenancy at will is required to regularize their
tenancy.
2. The tenant is negotiating terms with the Council’s retail
agent to remain in occupation.
3. The Shopping centre comprises multiple retail units, some of
which have been vacant for some time and it is important that
occupation levels are maximized so that the holding costs incurred
by the Council are mitigated.
4. The Council’s external agent for the centre Wright
Silverwood has recommended the action.
5. The Terms agreed leave the Tenant responsible for payment of
rent, landlord Service Charge, business rates, insurance, utilities
and internal repairs.
