Report by Executive Director: People, Transformation & Performance

The information in this case is exempt in that it falls within the following prescribed categories:

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

and since it is considered that, in all the circumstances of the case, the public interest in maintaining the exemption outweighs the public interest in disclosing the information, in that a negotiation is ongoing and would prejudice the position of the authority in the process of that negotiation and the Council’s standing generally in relation to such matters in future, to the detriment of the Council’s ability properly to discharge its fiduciary and other duties as a public authority.

Annex 1 containing exempt information under the above paragraph is attached.

The Cabinet Member is RECOMMENDED to approve the freehold sale of land comprising the former playing field at Northfield Hostel for social housing to a named purchaser in consideration of OCC receiving a capital receipt.

Recommendations approved.
