5 July 2011 An appeal by petitioners was presented to the Regeneration, Housing and Environment Scrutiny Panel. The panel disagreed with Cabinet’s decision to reject the petition and recommended to Cabinet that consideration be given to holding a referendum or consultation exercise to establish if there was a mandate among all of the chalet owners at the Fitties for a 50 week stop over. Lease renewal was placed on hold. 5 September 2011 Cabinet received the recommendations from the meeting of the scrutiny panel and resolved: 1) That a consultation exercise be carried out with all leaseholders at the Humberston Fitties to establish if there is a mandate for the regularisation of leases. 2) That the Monitoring Officer and the Strategic Director Environment, Economy and Housing determine the most appropriate means of carrying out the consultation and that their recommendations be put to the Leader of the Council, in his capacity as Portfolio Holder, for approval before the end of September, ) That a Select Committee be established to undertake a complete review of the Fitties arrangements following the completion of the consultation exercise. 4) That the recommendations of the Select Committee, taking into account the outcome of the consultation exercise be submitted to Cabinet for consideration. 14 February 2011 Cabinet received a detailed report and rejected the petition. 1 April rent reviews due and 132 leases expired.

There is no statutory time frame for the renewal of leases and whilst leases are renewed, lessees hold over on original terms. The Council determined there was an opportunity to revisit the leases in their entirety at this point and for this reason, external Legal Counsel advice was required.
