Decision details

Summary

The previous lease of the Montrose Park Café Hub was forfeited in May 2023 and the property was vacant for several months before forfeiture took place, and since then.  

The property has since been extensively marketed and the Council wishes to proceed to grant a new lease to ColinDeli Ltd for a term of 14 years on full repairing terms at a rent of £35,000 per annum subject to review in line with CPI every 5 years and on the penultimate day of the lease.  It is proposed that the tenant be granted 3 months' rent free and that there is a mutual break option two and half years into the lease and thereafter every 5 years.

Other terms as the Heads of Terms in Appendix A.  

Due to the aggregated rental income throughout the lease term, this decision requires the approval of a Cabinet Member under delegated powers which are sought to enable completion of the new lease.
