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.
