Publication Note:  A previously published exempt report has been replaced by a publicly accessible version. The agenda has been restructured to reflect this amendment, with the revised report now listed under public business. Exempt information is contained within appendices pursuant to Paragraph 3 of Part 1 of Schedule 12A of the Local Government Act 1972. Should the Scrutiny Committee wish to discuss matters relating to the information set out in Appendices 3 and 4, it will be necessary for the Scrutiny Committee to pass a resolution to exclude the press and public from the meeting (as set out in agenda item 5).

On 16 October 2024, Cabinet made a decision to enter into an Option Agreement for the disposal of land at Foxwell Drive.

The Committee is asked to consider the call-in for this Cabinet decision.

If the Committee wishes to exclude the press and the public from the meeting during consideration of any aspects of the preceding or following agenda items it will be necessary for the Committee to pass a resolution in accordance with the provisions of Section 100A(4) of the Local Government Act 1972 specifying the grounds on which their presence could involve the likely disclosure of exempt information as described in specific paragraphs of Part 1 of Schedule 12A of the Act if and so long, as in all the circumstances of the case, the public interest in maintaining the exemption outweighs the public interest in disclosing the information.

(The Access to Information Procedure Rules – Section 15 of the Council’s Constitution – sets out the conditions under which the public can be excluded from meetings of the Council)

This has been replaced by the report attached to Agenda Item 4 and 5a (exempt appendices).
