Report by Executive Director: People, Transformation & Performance

Granting of a right of way over land at Wheatley Park School, Holton, Oxfordshire to Oxford Brookes University and their successors in title.

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 give approval for the grant of a right of way over land at Wheatley Park School, Holton, Oxfordshire to Oxford Brookes University and their successors in title, subject to s77 approval by the Secretary of State, in respect of the sale of part of a playing field.

Recommendations approved.
