REPORT FOR CONSIDERATION |
|
Proposed reassignment of lease by Zeera restaurant. Mile End commercial units. PDF 100 KB Minutes: Stephen Murray (Head of Arts and Events, Communities Localities and Culture) presented the report. Members were reminded that at the last meeting, the Board considered a proposal from Tesco to acquire lease of the unit 554 Mile End Road. In response, the Board expressed some concern about the suitability of this proposal in view of the impact it might have on other similar business in the parade, amongst other matters. The Board asked Officers to further investigate the terms of the lease to identify the options open to the Board in reassigning the lease.
Officers had since looked into this issue and their advice on the matter was set out in the committee report. The report confirmed that the Council could, if it wished, refuse to reassign the lease to Tesco Ltd given that it was a change of use. With regards to the consent to assign the lease, it was required that the landlord should act reasonably in refusing such consent.
In view of this, the Board were invited comment on the type of business that the lease should be awarded to.
In response, the Board reiterated their concerns about the suitability of a Tesco style takeaway within the Parade. The Board considered that the unit should remain an Indian Restaurant as there was a lack of such restaurants in the area
RESOLVED
1. That the advice from the Council’s legal services regarding the proposed reassignment of the lease for unit 554 Mile End Road and the required change of use to achieve this be noted.
2. That the offer from Tesco for the lease of the unit 554 Mile End Road be declined and that the current leaseholders be requested to reassign the lease to an Indian Restaurant.
