Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: No

Purpose:

Buntingford depot is leased in from our landlord Old English Furniture Limited. Alterations to the buildings and site under the lease require landlords consent.
The Share Waste Service and their new waste contractor Veolia ES limited have requested a number of alterations to the site to help make the site and buildings work for day to day operations for the rest of the waste contract that started in May 2025.
These alterations include, works to move the vehicle repair bay, a break test pit, a new roller shutter door, EV charging infrastructure, new toilet portacabin, new canteen portacabins and new estate sign boards.
These alterations have been agreed by the landlord and by property services at East Herts. This delegated decision is to allow East Herts Legal Services to sign and seal both the licence for alterations between Old English Furniture Limited and East Herts Council and the licence between East Herts Council and Veolia ES Limited, which in turn passes on our consent for Veolia to undertake their proposed works.

Decision:

Sign and seal the landlords the obtained licence for alteration consent from Old English Furniture Ltd and sign and seal corresponding consent to document East Herts council consent to our tenant Veolia ES Limited.

Alternative options considered:

Option 1 - No alternative options required. Veolia require the alteration to the property to undertake their obligation under the waste contract. Not having said alteration may cause additional costs to the waste contract
