Decision:

1. The tenant has negotiated a deal to take the currently vacant Unit 32 on a short-term license agreement.
2. To provide the retailer with the experiences associated with the permanent retail operation of a shop without the long-term commitment normally associated with property rental agreements.
3. The Centre comprises multiple units, some of which have been vacant for some time and it is important that occupation levels are maximized so that the holding costs incurred by the Council are mitigated.
4. This unit has been unoccupied since the previous tenant vacated.
5. The terms agreed leave the tenant responsible for payment of the service charge, insurance, business rates and utilities in line with the Maylord Orchards Management Plan (January 2024).
