Notice of proposed decision first published: 29/06/2017

Anticipated restriction: Part exempt  -

Explanation of anticipated restriction:
The main part of this report is to be considered in Public. Appendix A is recommended for consideration in private because the information contained in it is exempt information within Part 1 of Schedule 12A of the Local Government Act 1972, as amended by the Local Government (Access to Information) (Variation) Order 2006. It is considered the report contains information relating to the financial or business affairs of any particular person (including the authority holding that information). The public interest in maintaining the exemption, which would protect the interests of the Council and third party organisations concerned, outweighs the public interest in disclosing the information and providing greater openness in the Council’s decision making.

Decision due: 31 Jul 2017 by Cabinet

Lead director: Strategic Director for Economy and Infrastructure

Department: Strategy and Strategic Resources, New Council and Regional Issues
