Minutes:
[Note: Councillor Ann Davies, having earlier declared a personal interest in this item, left the meeting prior to the consideration and voting thereof.]
Following the application of the public interest test it was RESOLVED, pursuant to the Act referred to in minute no. 8 above, not to publicise the content of the report as it contained exempt information relating to the financial or business affairs of any particular person (including the Authority holding that information) (Paragraph 14 of Part 4 of Schedule 12A to the Act). The public interest test in respect of this report outweighed the public interest in disclosing the information contained therein as disclosure would undermine the Council’s position in any continuing negotiations.to purchase outstanding land pieces which will run alongside the CPO process.
The Cabinet considered a report which sought approval to continue land negotiations and to approve the use of Compulsory Purchase Powers (CPO) to acquire land and interests.
