Purpose
Property Sub Committee on 27 November 2024 decided to grant a lease to Walton Hall Academy/Shaw Education Trust for the provision of post 16 education.
The proposal at the time was for a 10 year lease. However, a lease of that period would require Department for Education approval. The timescale for such approval puts the project at risk of delivery to allow commencement of teaching in September 2025.
However, a 7 year or less lease does not require such approval.
Therefore, the decision is to agree a change in terms from 10 years to 7 years.
