Decision

(a)     To agree the principle of a new lease over the former public conveniences at Tamarisk Way, Jaywick Sands;

(b)     To agree the terms for the grant of that new lease; and

(c)     To authorise the Corporate Director (Planning & Community) to complete that lease on those terms and on such other terms and conditions that he considers appropriate in consultation with Legal Services.

Reasons for the decision

The property is currently disused and in a poor condition. The successful proposals include a full refurbishment of the building. Its new use will provide a valuable service to the community and will help improve the appearance and vitality of the surrounding area.

Alternative options considered

(1)     To not relet the building and let it remain vacant.

(2)     To not proceed with the successful tenderer and carry out another tender process.
