Decision

1. The tenant has negotiated a deal to take
the currently vacant Unit 32 on a short-term license
agreement.
2. To provide the retailer with the experiences associated with the
permanent retail operation of a shop without the long-term
commitment normally associated with property rental
agreements.
3. The Centre comprises multiple 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. This unit has been unoccupied since the previous tenant
vacated.
5. The terms agreed leave the tenant responsible for payment of the
service charge, insurance, business rates and utilities in line
with the Maylord Orchards Management Plan (January 2024).
