Hesketh Park, Dartford: Charity Commission decision
Published 10 November 2011
Applies to England and Wales
The Commission received representations about a proposed Scheme that would modernize the trusts of the charity and give the trustee a power to lease a property on the charity’s land.
The review was conducted by the Commission’s Head of Legal (Compliance) who gave those who had commented on the draft Scheme the opportunity to clarify their representations by telephone. The reviewer took up with the trustee some of the concerns which had been made in the representations about the security of the building until it is leased.
After careful consideration of the representations the reviewer decided that the Scheme should be made with some modifications. The Scheme will still modernise the trusts of the charity and give the trustee a power to lease the property.
