Margate Football Club consultation

Recommendations from Cabinet on 5 January 2012

• Support the extension of the current lease for the main ground from 10 to 24 years.
• Refuse granting a lease for an extended area for a football pitch, as this is too intrusive in Hartsdown Park.
• Advise the removal of the extended parking area from the proposal or, at most, grant a small extension to the current car park. This would require the developers to seek an alteration to the current planning condition on parking provision. The reason for this is to avoid any further significant intrusion in Tivoli Park.
• Support the granting of a lease within the current football ground area for the construction of a hotel in line with the approved planning application, but try and ensure that the lease is as short as possible, whilst still making the project work financially.
• Support the extension of the lease for the current five-a-side pitches and car park from 15 to 24 years, to coincide in timing with the main ground lease.
