RESOLVED:
(i) To retain the site without making a direct capital contribution, but via a discounted rental arrangement and in lieu of this payment, Aldi will receive a discounted rent over a 10-year period.
(ii) Aldi will take a new 20-year Full Repairing and Insuring lease, subject to five yearly upward only rent reviews and Wickes will surrender the surplus accommodation and take a new Full Repairing and Insuring lease of the remainder for a term of 15 years.
(iii) That, in the event of a disposal valued in excess of Cabinets financial authority to approve a disposal, Council delegate approval to dispose of this property in the future to the Executive Director of Growth and Prosperity following consultation with the Executive Director for Enabling Services and the Director of Legal and Governance (if best consideration can be demonstrated for a disposal compared to retention of the property).
