DELEGATION OF AUTHORITY TO MAKE THE DECISION WHETHER TO GRANT A LICENCE TO OCCUPY AREAS OF VICTORIA PARK IN THE SUMMER / AUTUMN OF 2024 AT TIMES TO BE MORE SPECIFICALLY AGREED
PDF 234 KBThe Corporate Director for Children and
Culture is seeking the authority to be able to decide whether to
grant a licence to AEG Presents Limited to occupy areas of Victoria
Park at times to be specifically agreed throughout the summer and
autumn period of 2024. This report asks the Mayor to delegate
authority to the Corporate Director so that the Corporate Director
may decide to issue such a licence if appropriate terms are
agreed.
This would be a Key Decision and therefore the Mayor must be
specifically be asked for authority before the decision is made
under the law. The decision is a Key Decision because if the
Corporate Director decides to grant a licence then this could have
a significant effect on the communities of two or more
wards.
Decision type: Key
Reason Key: Significant impact on communities living or working in two or more wards;
Decision status: For Determination
Wards affected: (All Wards);
Notice of proposed decision first published: 14/06/2023
Reason for urgency:
The licence to occupy arrangements are time sensitive and if it they are to go ahead require an urgent decision in order for the Council’s legal department, to be agreed with AEG Presents Limited, a licence to occupy Victoria Park in return for an occupancy fee and allow for:
- Sufficient time for the licensee to apply for a Premises Licence and any other statutory requirements associated with the occupation of the park.
- The licensee to make their arrangements to deliver the proposed events.
Management of the licence to occupy the land is a function that sits within the Children and Culture Directorate and due to the need to determine agreement of the licence immediately the Mayor is asked to delegate authority to allow the Corporate Director, Children and Culture to consider and potentially approve AEG Presents Limited’s proposal.
Open/Exempt: Open;
