Decision Maker: Cabinet

Outcome:

Is Key Decision?: Yes

Is Callable In?: Yes

Date of Decision: December 16, 2025

Purpose: Cabinet is requested approve the lease out of part of the second floor at Nexus House, Gatwick Road, Crawley.   Approval of this item cannot be deferred because the prospective tenant has set a hard longstop of 9 February 2026 and requires the Agreement for Lease to be signed pre Christmas. This allows Surrey County Council to immediately instruct the five week landlord subdivision works required as part of the lease. Any delay would jeopardise meeting these contractual milestones, resulting in the loss of the prospective tenant at a financial loss to Surrey County Council.   This item will be dealt with under the Special Urgency rule as it has not had the required 28 days’ notice on the Forward Plan. The relevant Select Committee Chairman has been notified of the intention to make this decision.
