Purpose: East Herts Council leases the Buntingford Service Depot, which it then sublets to Veolia (the Waste Management Contractor jointly procured with North Herts Council), from Old English (Furniture) Ltd. Veolia wish to carry out minor works to the depot in line with their operational requirements. The council (the tenant) requires the consent of Old English (the landlord) to allow this. A Licence for Alterations (Minor Works) has been agreed between the council and Old English. The Director for Communities is using authority delegated in the council's Constitution 'to negotiate contracts and property agreements' (paragraph 10.6.1.2a) to, in this case, 'manage the council's property portfolio' (paragraph 10.13.15) so as to facilitate the effective use of the Buntingford Waste Depot by the waste management contractor, Veolia.
