Decision details

To agree the revision to the Industrial Units Lettings Policy.

That the revised Industrial Units Letting Policy attached at Appendix A to the report be approved.

The Policy had been reviewed by officers in accordance with the Council’s policy review framework and had been scrutinised by the Council’s Policy Development Panel to ensure that it remained fit for purpose in all aspects).

·       Not to review the Policy- not reviewing the Policy itself would be acting in contravention of the Council’s policy review model – not recommended.

·       Not seek to effect the revisions recommended – to retain the existing policy approach would mean the Council would limit its flexibility in managing this part of its estate and would limit its ability to better support local businesses and local employment opportunities – not recommended.
