Views will be sought from the property sub-committee and considered when the decision is taken.
Financial implications: The rent proposed is a peppercorn. The Sports Hall will need to be refurbished by KCC to provide the accommodation for the children’s centre. A funding agreement will be entered into by the Academy and KCC to enable the construction of the school and the release of surplus land.
Legal implications: KCC will be a tenant of the property and will be responsible for the internal repairs of the building under the lease. KCC will have an option to break the lease if this service is no longer required at 10th, 15th and 20th year of the lease. A funding agreement and associated legal documentation will be put in place to facilitate this.
Equalities implications: None.
