To agree termination of the occupational arrangements and costs incurred in respect of the council’s use of the Peterchurch centre at Peterchurch church. The council is paying running costs in respect of the premises under its Licence to Occupy dated 8 August 2008 for the designated use as a children’s centre. The Licence was made between the Reverend Simon Lockett (‘Licensor’), the Parochial Church Council of the Parish of Peterchurch (‘Church Council’) and Herefordshire Council (‘Licensee’). Children’s centre services provided by the council no longer operate from the premises and in accordance with the cabinet report dated 14 September 2017 a review of the arrangement is required.

The report seeks approval to surrender the licence through the operation of the one-off break clause on the 10^th anniversary of the start date i.e. 8 August 2018 and to serve the required
6 months’ notice on or before 8 February 2018.  A separate licence in respect of the community library will remain in place.
