Decision details

PLACE IN THE PARK, 109 LISCARD ROAD WALLASEY.

Decision Maker: Director of Regeneration and Place

Decision status: For Determination

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: No

Purpose:

This report seeks approval to grant a lease on the basis of a Community Asset Transfer to Hype (Merseyside) Ltd for community facility known as The Place in The Park, 109 Liscard Road, Wallasey.

Decision:

That the Director of Regeneration and Place has approved the grant of a 20-year lease at a peppercorn rent of the property known as The Place in The Park, 109 Liscard Road, Wallasey to Hype (Merseyside) Limited.

 

Reasons for the decision:

To facilitate the continued operation of the vacant community building at 109 Liscard Road, Wallasey to Hype (Merseyside) Ltd by granting a 20-year lease at a peppercorn rental.

Alternative options considered:

2.1  As the site forms part of the Urban Greenspace, redevelopment of the property is unlikely to be permitted under current planning policy. 

 

 2.2  It would be possible to seek to let the premises out on a shorter lease but any organisation seeking to bid for such opportunity would not have the security of a long lease which could limit the attractiveness of the opportunity.

 

2.3  It may be possible to seek to let the premises out on a commercial basis, but this would result in the loss of a community facility.
