PART II

In this case the Board has a discretion to exclude the press and public and, in view of the nature of the business to be transacted, it is RECOMMENDED that under Section 100A(4) of the Local Government Act 1972, having been satisfied that in all the circumstances of the case the public interest in maintaining the exemption outweighs the public interest in disclosing the information, the press and public be excluded from the meeting for the following item(s) of business on the grounds that it involves the likely disclosure of exempt information as defined in paragraph 3 of Part 1 of Schedule 12A to the Act.

Reason for taking the Item in Part II:-

The Council wishes to maintain its commercial property transactions and information relating to acquisition prices of property assets confidential so that it does not prejudice its other property dealings and protect the Council’s commercial confidentiality.
