Minutes:

This report sought delegated authority to let vacant space within the Innovation Centre upon commercial terms.

 

Cabinet had considered a report in November 2008 setting out proposals for letting the commercial floor space within the building. At that time it was proposed the ground and first floors would be operated as an innovation centre and the top floor would be let to one or more anchor tenants. It was now proposed that in order to maximise the buildings potential that the top floor was divided and incorporated within the Innovation Centre facility.

 

As a standing delegation this would be added to the Employee Scheme of Delegation, as set out in the Council’s Constitution.
