As this site has the best occupancy rates, it is proposed that this ismaintained for the present, prioritising the Queen’s Park Mablethorpedevelopment, but that options for demolishing the existing Sutton onSea chalets are explored, as a possible second phase of development,once the outcome of the Queen’s Park phase is known.3.8.3 Chalets 1-16 located at Central Promenade, Mablethorpe are inreasonable overall condition and require little maintenance. Plannedmaintenance work identified for financial years 2011/12 and 2012/13includes: removal of asbestos heat pads, electrical safety test andmiscellaneous repairs, totalling £13,080. The following 3 years costswould be in the region of £5,770.It is proposed that these chalets be market tested to see if a leasearrangement can be agreed for these to be let privately, as is theposition with those on North Promenade, Mablethorpe. This would befor a fixed period, potentially for the 2011 season onwards, for 10years, with no option for the lessee to sell the chalets during that time.3.8.4 Chalets 16-17 on the North Promenade at Mablethorpe arecurrently used for storage. Planned maintenance work identified forfinancial years 2011/12 and 2012/13 will cost around £1,070 with £990required in the following 3 years and it is proposed that this work iscarried out.3.8.5 Chalets 18-32 on the North Promenade at Mablethorpe have beenleased to a private operator, but as they have tendered the lease, thisis currently being re-let by Property Services.
