Care Trust Properties Leases (Mayoral Decision)

 

 

A number of 10-year leases were granted to the Torbay Care Trust in 2005, which were then assigned to the Torbay and Southern Devon Health and Care NHS Trust in 2012 for the purposes of delivering adult social care services.

The leases referred to in were excluded from the security provisions of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954 and therefore the Trust have no security of tenure. As such new leases need to be agreed prior to the expiry of the current arrangements or the Trust will need to vacate at the end of the contractual term.

The leases come to an end on 30 November 2015 and for a number of properties the Trust have asked that they be granted short term leases so in line with commissioning intentions  the future of their service delivery for each location can be reviewed.
