Most debates take place in public. This only changes when there is a need to consider certain issues, for instance, commercially sensitive information or details concerning an individual. You will be told at this point whether there are any items on the Agenda which are to be discussed in private.

It was noted that all Agenda Item 17 would be considered in private session.

The Committee will receive any petitions and hear any deputations from members of the public. A deputation is where up to five people can attend the meeting and make a presentation on some particular issue of concern. A member of the public can also hand in a petition at the meeting but that petition should relate to something on which the body has powers and responsibilities.

In accordance with Council Procedure Rule 10 (2), Members of the Public should provide at least 24 hours’ notice of presenting a deputation. 

None received.

The Committee will hear any questions from the general public.

To resolve that under Section 100(A)(4) of the Local Government Act 1972, the public be excluded from the meeting during consideration of the following items of business on the grounds that they involve the likely disclosure of exempt information as defined in Part 1 of Schedule 12A of the Act.

RESOLVED – That acting under Section 100(A)(4) of the Local Government Act 1972, the public be excluded from the meeting during consideration of the following item of business on the grounds that it involves the likely disclosure of exempt information as defined in Part 1 of Schedule 12A of the Act, as specifically stated in the undermentioned Minute.

(Private Appendix to be submitted in relation to the Application to be considered at Agenda Item 15)

This information is to be taken in private because it contains commercially sensitive information, including information about a third party.

The public interest in maintaining the exemption, which would protect the interests of the Council and the company involved, outweighs the public interest in disclosing the information and providing greater openness in the Council’s decision making.

Contact Officer: Farzana Tabasum, Planning Service

The Committee gave consideration to the exempt information prior to the determination of Agenda Item 15.
