Reasons for recommendation(s)
Whilst the proposal may make the site more sustainable for Glendale Golf, there is a cost to the Council through the loss of NNDR income. The Council have already made concessions to Glendale since the commencement of the lease in terms of rent and management arrangements, and this additional loss in income which flows from the change to charitable body status would reduce the council’s income from the site further.
Alternative options considered and rejected
None.
