Recommendations approved.
Reasons for recommendation(s):
To provide the proposed tenant with an agreement to allow their occupation of the Office for the next 3 years, whilst allowing them flexibility to vacate if necessary.
Alternative options considered and rejected:
1. To refuse the request for a Lease with flexible terms which would leave the office vacant.
2. To continue to allow occupation under the terms of a series of Licences which while allowing flexibility in terms of ease of vacating, may also confer additional rights under the Landlord and Tenant Act, in particular security of tenure and the right to a new tenancy .
