5.	REPORTS NOT FOR PUBLICATION FOLLOWING CONSIDERATION OF ALL THE CIRCUMSTANCES OF THE CASE AND FOLLOWING THE APPLICATION OF THE PUBLIC INTEREST TEST THE CABINET MEMBER MAY CONSIDER THAT THE FOLLOWING ITEMS ARE NOT FOR PUBLICATION AS THEY CONTAIN EXEMPT INFORMATION AS DEFINED IN PARAGRAPH 14 OF PART 4 OF SCHEDULE 12A TO THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT ACT, 1972 AS AMENDED BY THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT (ACCESS TO INFORMATION) (VARIATION) (WALES) ORDER 2007. Minutes: RESOLVED pursuant to The Local Government Act 1972 as amended by The Local Government (Access to Information) (Variation) (Wales) Order 2007 that the following items were not for publication as the reports contained exempt information as defined in Paragraph 14 of Part 4 of Schedule 12A to the Act.
6.	CARMARTHENSHIRE TRANSFORMATIONAL COMMERCIAL PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT FUND View the reasons why item 6. is restricted Additional documents: Restricted enclosure 7 View the reasons why document 6./2 is restricted Minutes: Following the application of the public interest test it was RESOLVED, pursuant to the Act referred to in minute no. 5 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 this matter related to the fact that the report contained detailed information about the business and financial affairs and ambitions of the applicants. In this case, the public interest in maintaining transparency and accountability is outweighed by the public interest in maintaining confidentiality, as disclosure would be likely to place persons and businesses named in the report at an unfair disadvantage in relation to their commercial competitors. The Cabinet Member reconsidered an offer of grant for £750,000.00 from the Carmarthenshire Transformational Commercial Property Development Fund to Cambrian Pet Foods on 19^th December 2019 [Minute 6 thereof refers] following delays in the original proposed scheme and changes within the company itself as detailed in the circulated report. RESOLVED, in light of the above, that the grant of £750,000.00 originally awarded to Cambrian Pet Foods, Llangadog, from the Carmarthenshire Transformational Commercial Property Development Fund be reduced to £740,973.24 subject to the usual terms and conditions and those specified in the report.
