Issue details
Licence to occupy in respect of land at Wyedean Rise, Belmont Hereford
1. The land at Wyedean Rise is owned by the
council and is designated as public open space. It is located at
the end of a cul de sac and adjacent to an access drive and is not
used for recreational activities
2. Legal have advised that the grant of a licence does not
constitute a disposal of a legal interest in the land so there is
no impediment to granting a licence to occupy.
3. The land is currently maintained under the public realm contract
although the frequency of maintenance has decreased over the years
and a local resident now wishes to take on that responsibility to
alleviate littering and parking on the land.
4. A licence fee of £500.00 has been agreed with the
licensee.
5. The licence provides a first step to allow both parties to
review whether the arrangement should be put on a more formal basis
by the transfer of the freehold or a long leasehold interest in the
asset
