This report considers a proposal by the Girl Guides to widen their existing lease user clause to allow third party use by other not for profit community groups.

Following consideration, it was resolved that:

(1)      The Head of Property and Regeneration, in consultation with the Chair and Vice Chair of Community and Wellbeing, agree the proposed terms to amend the restrictive user clause to allow third party use by other not for profit community groups.

The Committee received a report presenting a proposal by the Girl Guides to widen their existing lease user clause for the Little Acres site to allow third party use by other not for profit community groups.

The following matters were considered:

a)            Restrictions on use of site by third parties. Members of the Committee considered that use of the site by third parties should not generate revenue for the Girl Guides, and that all uses should be appropriate to the location. Officers informed the Committee that restrictions upon the use of the site were within the Council’s control, as terms for the amendments to the restrictive user clause had not yet been agreed.

b)           Delegation of agreement of terms. The Committee considered that delegation of the agreement of terms for theamendment of the restrictive user clause should be granted to the Head of Property and Regeneration in consultation with the Chair and Vice Chair of the Committee. The Committee noted that the Council’s Chief Legal Officer would be consulted as a matter of course with regard to the terms of agreement.

Following consideration, it was resolved that:

(1)      The Head of Property and Regeneration, in consultation with the Chair and Vice Chair of Community and Wellbeing, agree the proposed terms to amend the restrictive user clause to allow third party use by other not for profit community groups.
