A representative of the Deputy Chief Executive submitted a report (copies of which had been circulated) details a proposal to grant a lease to Stockport Community Shed in respect of the detached former public conveniences within Woodley Precinct.

A member commented that the duration of the lease was of such a significant length that this may have a consequential impact on the ability of the Council to redevelop the precinct, if it wished to do so, should the lease be granted on the basis proposed.

In response, the Chair commented that the lessee would need to make a significant capital investment in the building and as such would want security of tenure to realise that investment which may account for the proposed duration of the lease.

RESOLVED – (1 against) That the Deputy Chief Executive be recommended to grant a lease to Stockport Community Shed in respect of the detached former public conveniences within Woodley Precinct on the basis of the terms set out in the report.
