Decision:

Decision to grant a Tenancy at Will to the tenant at Unit 19 Maylord Orchards Centre, Hereford.

1. The tenant has served their break notice to end their current lease at the property on 03rd March 2026.
2. The property team has encouraged the tenant to remain in occupation on a Tenancy at Will in the interim period which the tenant has agreed to.
3. The Tenancy at Will allows the tenant time to see how their business reacts to a number of new occupiers coming to the centre. If they wish to remain then a new lease will be negotiated with the landlord’s agent.
4. The Terms agreed leave the Tenant responsible for payment of the rent, landlord Service Charge, business rates, insurance and utilities.
5. The Centre comprises multiple retail 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.
