Decision details

To seek approval to purchase the outdoor storage unit which forms part of the lease agreement of 52 Eastwick Row, Hemel Hempstead, HP2 4PA

Decision Maker: Strategic Director (Place)

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: No

Purpose:

The leaseholder has refused to approve a Deed of Variation to alter the location of the outdoor storage unit, which forms part of their leasehold demise. This relocation is required to make way for a reorganising of the public realm space to support the construction of building a new flat block development (“the Scheme”).
Without owning this storage unit it can’t be demolished and relocated and hampers planned housing development.
The outdoor storage unit has been informally valued by Braiser Freeth Ltd as a desktop valuation in the region of £5,000 - £6,000 based on rental figures.

Decision:

To seek approval of the purchase of the outdoor storage unit under the leasehold demise of 52 Eastwick Row, Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire, HP2 4PA for the sum of £15,000.00 (Fifteen thousand pounds only), in additional to the leaseholders reasonable legal costs.

Alternative options considered:

Option 1 - Provide a new shed
Option 2 - CPO
