  The seating area outside this bar is partly their land and partly council/public land, like all establishments of this type if the land is used for seating them rates are payable, plus a separate wayleave agreement would need to be obtained to use the public land for a business purpose and additional rates payable. Previous business owners in that premises had sensible discussions with the council and reached agreement on use and cost; perhaps the current franchisee just expected?
  
  As for the state of repair of the premises, well it will have been leased on a standard full repairing basis, so if he failed to get it properly surveyed and agreed repairs at the landlords cost before commencing the lease, or suitable rent reduction, then more fool him. Having dealt with this particular landlord he is difficult, slightly hard nosed and not particularly interested other than getting what he thinks the premises is worth
