Licence to sublet a lease in respect of property held within the Council’s commercial Investment portfolio
23/10/2025 - Licence to sublet a lease in respect of property held within the Council’s commercial Investment portfolio
The current tenant had requested consent to
sublet part of the premises for the remaining term of their lease.
This part of the premises is surplus to the tenant’s current
requirement and they are no longer in occupation of it. The current
lease does not permit subletting in part but it is in the interest
of good estate management and to the economy of the county to allow
the subletting to support the current tenant and subtenant
business. The Tenant has previously been permitted to sublet the
same part of the premises (that sub-letting has ended) and to
refuse consent would be inconsistent with this previous
decision
