Decision

RESOLVED to

 

·               Grant a ’99 years less one day’ lease to UKPN for the construction and operation of a substation on Trap Lane land.

 

·               Delegate approval to the Asset Strategy Manger or the Assistant Director for Finance and Assets to agree the exact terms of the above legal agreement.

 

Reason for the decision:

 

The substation is essential for the leisure centre expansion project. Without this lease, the new substation cannot be built which would mean the power demands of the new facility could not be met.
