Reason for urgency:
With the approval of the Chairman of the Growth, Environment and Resources Scrutiny Committee Special Urgency and waiver of call-in procedures have been invoked to suspend the requirement to publish the decision for 5 days prior to publication, and to suspend the 3 day call-in period.
This is because the disposal is commercially sensitive and the Council needs to use the urgency provisions to enable it to contract as the vendor unconditionally to reduce the risk of the purchaser withdrawing. The call-in provisions leave the Council exposed when it wishes the purchaser to be contractually bound.
Anticipated restriction: Part exempt - View reasons
Explanation of anticipated restriction:
The attached appendices are NOT FOR PUBLICATION in accordance with paragraph (s) 3 of Schedule 12A of Part 1 of the Local Government Act 1972 in that it contains commercially sensitive information. The public interest test has been applied to the information contained within the exempt annex and it is considered that the need to retain the information as exempt outweighs the public interest in disclosing it.
