Issue details
Grant of new lease at unit 43 Maylord Orchards
1. The Maylord Orchards Centre is now owned
outright by the council as a strategic asset in the centre of
Hereford.
2. The Centre comprises multiple retail units with the council
incurring the holding costs of all vacant units.
3. The terms agreed are for a lease for a 12 month period with the
tenant responsible for the payment of the service charge and
insurance premium attributable to this unit, business rates and all
utility costs
4. The occupation of this unit will mitigate the holding costs that
the council will otherwise pay.
5. The occupation of an otherwise vacant unit will help to improve
the vibrancy of the Centre and should increase footfall which may
benefit the other occupiers
6. The lease, for a period of 12 months, will be outside the
security of tenure provisions of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954
and so will not prohibit the council from undertaking development
at a future date.
