Agreed.Doesn't this just show what an absolute horrible human he is, only interested in himself and money . No morals at all.
I agree, but does that mean it has to be a usable building or one that just won't fall down.Firoka are still obligated to maintain it properly though, regardless of how useful it is to him. The terms on the lease will be very clear....
They are ! ....but Firokas owner appears to be clad in teflon when being dealt with by the toothless priory owners ox city councilFiroka are still obligated to maintain it properly though, regardless of how useful it is to him. The terms on the lease will be very clear....
'Fit for use' is part of the terminology i believe?I agree, but does that mean it has to be a usable building or one that just won't fall down.
Sadly, the latter, I would think. As a commercial venture it really doesn't have much potential. The proximity of the sewage works makes it less than attractive to the restaurant trade and it is too small to generate sufficient income as it stands.I agree, but does that mean it has to be a usable building or one that just won't fall down.
definitelyAgreed.
The council appear to have been either weak or bordering on negligent.
Kassam appears to have had the council round his little finger.
Did I read that he received planning permission for the hotel based on him keeping the Priory maintained to a reasonable condition?
Utter utter shambles and a total disgrace.
The city council are corrupt and are a big failing on its duties to the city of Oxford....mind you if a developer came in and said I will replace the priory with 20 student flats you could bet your bottom dollar we would see flats within a yearThey are ! ....but Firokas owner appears to be clad in teflon when being dealt with by the toothless priory owners ox city council
Its as per the terms of the lease. If that means usable, it has been to usable and not left to a tenant to make do as the investment will be huge/I agree, but does that mean it has to be a usable building or one that just won't fall down.
Having dealt with similar issues, it requires a level of persistence, detail, lawyers and calmness to get around lessees like Firoka. You can do it if the will is there, and it's very simple to enforceThey are ! ....but Firokas owner appears to be clad in teflon when being dealt with by the toothless priory owners ox city council
I wish oxford city council saw it that way & had already dealt with the sad state of affairs re the grade 11 listed priory which they own @Gary BaldiHaving dealt with similar issues, it requires a level of persistence, detail, lawyers and calmness to get around lessees like Firoka.

I would suspect that the Council are wary of spending a lot of money in legal fees.Having dealt with similar issues, it requires a level of persistence, detail, lawyers and calmness to get around lessees like Firoka. You can do it if the will is there, and it's very simple to enforce

Could always have a matchday marquee next to the pub to boost sales. Just a thought like ...... ?
Which means they are effectively letting any rich businessman to do what the hell he likes with their property, because they won't enforce a lease.I would suspect that the Council are wary of spending a lot of money in legal fees.
Kassam seems to virtually never back down and he also seems to have run rings round the council.
You might want to withdraw that BazThe city council are ******* and are a big failing on its duties to the city of Oxford....mind you if a developer came in and said I will replace the priory with 20 student flats you could bet your bottom dollar we would see flats within a year
