Anticipated reasons for restriction

By virtue of Regulation 4 of the Local Authorities (Executive Arrangements) (Access to Information) (England) Regulations 2012.

Explanation of Reasons

• By Virtue of Paragraph 3

  Information relating to the financial or business affairs of any particular person (including the authority holding that information)

  Condition:

  Information is not exempt if it is required to be registered under-

  • The Companies Act 1985
  • The Friendly Societies Act 1974
  • The Friendly Societies Act 1992
  • The Industrial and Provident Societies Acts 1965 to 1978
  • The Building Societies Act 1986 (recorded in the public file of any building society, within the meaning of the Act)
  • The Charities Act 1993

  Information is exempt to the extent that, in all the circumstances of the case, the public interest in maintaining the exemption outweighs the public interest in disclosing the information.

  Information is not exempt if it relates to proposed development for which the local planning authority may grant itself planning permission pursuant to Regulation 3 of the Town & Country Planning General Regulations 1992(a).

Reason restricted justification

Paragraph 3 - Information relating to the financial or business affairs of any particular person (including the authority holding that information).

(A final decision on whether this item will be determined in private will be taken during the meeting and depend upon whether the Executive wishes to discuss the tenders in detail as to do so would almost certainly involve the likely disclosure of exempt information as defined in Schedule 12A of the Local Government Act.)
