Additional Information
Additional Information for Tenants
Set out below is additional information we hope you find helpful.
Energy Performance Certificate
An EPC is required on the sale, rental or construction of most commercial buildings.
The certificate is valid for ten years, providing there have been no material changes.
The District Council will provide this certificate for the Newark Beacon.
An EPC is required for buildings that have a roof and walls and use energy to condition the indoor climate (i.e. heating system, air conditioning or mechanical ventilation).
Further information can be found on the gov.uk website.
Business Continuity Planning
Business Continuity Planning is the means by which organisations plan to maintain their business in the event of adverse impact to critical elements of that business. It is the process of planning for the unexpected.
An effective plan will provide you with procedures to minimise the effects of unexpected disruptions. The plan should enable your business to recover quickly and efficiently, with minimum disruption to your day to-day activities.
It is your responsibility as the tenant to make suitable arrangement for business continuity. The Council is not liable for arranging this for you and it is not covered by the Council’s buildings insurance policy.
Equality Act
Equality law applies to everyone responsible for running a business or who might do something on its behalf, including staff if you are an employer.
Further information can be found on the Equality and Human Rights Commission website.
