Haylodge depot change of use and lease disposal

Overview

Peebles Common Good Fund Subcommittee are proposing to offer Peebles and District Men’s Shed a 10 year lease for Haylodge depot.

The previous consultation on Haylodge depot was carried out to gather public opinion on the future use of Haylodge depot; whether to lease to the Men’s Shed below market rent or to a business at market rent to deliver continued income to the Peebles Common Good fund. The public overwhelmingly voted to support the Men's Shed. 

A further public consultation is required under section 104 of the Community Empowerment (Scotland) Act 2015 as use by the Men’s Shed will constitute a change of use of the property and because of the length of lease being offered. All costs associated with the change of use will be met by the Men's Shed.
