Decision details

Decision Maker: Corporate Director (Operations and Delivery)

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: No

Purpose:

To issue a Counter Notice under Section 45 in respect of 103 Clarkes Road, Dovercourt on terms pursuant to the statutory obligations to grant lease extensions under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 (as amended).
This is in response to a notice served under section 42 and in pursuance of statutory obligations.

Decision:

That a Counter Notice is issued and, in consultation with the Head of Legal Services, negotiations are authorised to agree the premium payable and to formalise this lease extension subject to such other terms as considered necessary.

Alternative options considered:

Option 1 - To issue a Counter Notice under Section 45
Option 2 - Not to issue a Counter Notice. However, if the Council fails to respond to the notice that has been served or it fails to agree terms and grant a new lease, this risks the leaseholder applying to the Court for an order granting the new lease on the terms contained in the initial notice.
