Decision details

Lease renewal at St. Michael's Gate, Parnwell, Peterborough - APR20/CMDN/100

Decision Maker: Cabinet Member for Housing, Culture and Recreation

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: Yes

Is subject to call in?: Yes

Purpose:

The Cabinet Members:

 

1.         Approved the renewal of the lease at St Michael’s Gate for a term of two years.

2.         Approved associated professional fees and SDLT costs

Reasons for the decision:

This is the most cost effective option in meeting the Council’s need for temporary accommodation.

Alternative options considered:

•           The purchase of St Michael’s Gate was considered. However, this option has been discounted in view of the Council’s recently reduced requirement for temporary accommodation.

•           Exiting these properties entirely by the 1st May was an alternative option, however the need to rehouse all the tenants in such a short timeframe was seen as too onerous; the longer timeframe allows the Council to plan properly for rehousing the tenants.

Interests and Nature of Interests Declared:

None.

Background Documents:

None.
