To consider the principle of granting a new Lease of the Rush Green Football Club Site, Rush Green Road, Clacton-on-Sea.

That Cabinet approves, in principle, the granting of the lease of the Clacton Football Club site in Rush Green Road, Clacton-on-Sea to FC Clacton Community Society subject to its decision to be taken later in the meeting as to the terms of that lease.

There was submitted a report by the Portfolio Holder for Resources and Corporate Services (Report A.6), which sought Cabinet’s agreement, in principle, to the granting of a new lease of the Clacton Football Club site in Rush Green Road, Clacton-on-Sea.

It was reported that in 2004 an 84 year Lease had been granted to Total Project Limited in order to run a Football Club at the Rush Green site.  In 2014 that company had been dissolved and a new Company set up, FC Clacton Community Society.  The Lease had not been assigned from Total Project Limited to FC Clacton Community Society prior to the company being dissolved and the Lease had therefore come to an end. 

In order for FC Clacton Community Society to continue to use this site, it was proposed by Officers to grant them a new 25 year Lease in accordance with the Heads of Terms set out in item B.1 of the Report of the Resources and Corporate Services Portfolio Holder.

Having considered the information submitted and the advice of Officers contained within the report:

It was moved by Councillor Stock, seconded by Councillor G V Guglielmi and:

RESOLVED that Cabinet approves, in principle, the granting of the lease of the Clacton Football Club site in Rush Green Road, Clacton-on-Sea to FC Clacton Community Society subject to its decision to be taken later in the meeting as to the terms of that lease.
