Purpose: Proposed new licence of land for garden and recreation use
Content: Proposed new licence of land for garden and recreation use That the Council will grant a new licence to the existing licensee for six years. The parcel of land is adjacent to residential properties and is held by the Council for possible long-term use. It is not covered by a current local housing needs survey; therefore, a local need housing scheme is unlikely in the next few years. As currently no use is identified, the use of a licence in the interim protects the Council’s interest. The proposed licence will be documented by Legal Services with their costs being covered. 1. Agree to grant the licence 2. Decline to grant the licence
