Tower Hamlets Council's Cabinet approved a 30-year lease renewal for Mudchute Farm and Park in March 2026, which departs from the standard terms of the Council's VCS Premises Policy.

The agreement for Mudchute Farm includes an initial annual rent of £15,000, with provisions for rent reviews every five years.
