Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: No

Purpose:

To allow a licence of Cornerstone House, Newstead, to be granted to CAST Angling projects

Decision:

Granting of licence of Cornerstone House to CAST Angling Projects.

Reasons for the decision:

Up until 1 January 2017 CAST occupied the premises on a peppercorn arrangement. The Council no longer has funds to subsidise this group. The property is now considered to be surplus and, subject to Portfolio Holder approval, is to be sold for market value. In order to allow the group to make alternative accommodation arrangements an interim measure of allowing them to stay on in occupation until 12 December 2017 on a licence agreement which provides for them paying a licence free of £300 per month has been agreed,

Alternative options considered:

An alternative would be to not grant the licence. This would not give the Group much time to make alternative accommodation arrangements.
