16 Seabank Car park, Middlewich - Ground Lease PDF 50 KB
To consider a proposed ground lease with the National Grid for an area of land adjacent to this car park.
Additional documents:
Decision:
To enter into a 21 year ground lease with National Grid on terms and conditions agreed by the Property Services Manager and Borough Solicitor.
Minutes:
It was reported that National Grid has had a Gas Governor situated on land adjacent to Seabank Car Park for a number of years and could, therefore, technically claim prescriptive rights. By granting a lease to National Grid, Cheshire East Borough Council could negotiate terms and conditions without losing all rights if the lease wasn’t granted.
The Gas Governor is situated to the East of Seabank car park, as shown on the plan attached to the report, and not on part of the Car Park so it did not require a change to the Car Park Order. To formalise the situation, safeguard the Council’s position, and in the interest of good estate management, it was recommended that the Council grants a lease to National Grid.
RESOLVED
That approval be given to enter into a 21 year ground lease with National Grid on terms and conditions agreed by the Property Services Manager and the Borough Solicitor.
