Cabinet Members making
the decision
Councillor Nick Denys – Cabinet Member for Planning,
Housing & Property
Decision Agreed
That the Cabinet Member for Planning, Housing &
Property:
1) Approve the conclusion of the 2023 rent review at
2 Mulberry Parade, West Drayton, with the
revised rent set out in the report, agreed effective
from 25 June 2023;
2) Approve the grant of a new six -year lease of 2
Mulberry Parade, West Drayton to JHSMART
Limited at an initial rent and terms, as set out in
the report from 25 June 2026; and
3) Authorise the Corporate Director of Residents
Services to agree the final detailed terms of the
Rent Review Memorandum and the new lease,
and to take all steps necessary to complete both
transactions.
Reason for decision The Cabinet Member for Planning, Housing and Property
noted the urgency of concluding the lease renewal. The
existing lease had expired on 24 June 2026 and, as the
tenant had no automatic right to a new lease, it was
considered important to regularise the occupation. It was
also noted that the 2023 rent review remained outstanding

and that completing the renewal would secure the revised
market rent and enable the recovery of backdated rent due.
Alternative options
considered and rejected
The alternative options were considered but rejected. Re -
letting the property, pursuing immediate payment of all
arrears and interest, or taking no further action were not
recommended due to the potential financial, legal and
operational risks to the Counc il. It was considered that
renewing the lease and resolving the outstanding rent
review represented the most effective outcome for both
parties.
