Report by Director of Property and Assets

The information contained in the annex is exempt in that it falls within the following prescribed categories:

Paragraph 3 Information relating to the financial or business affairs of any particular person including the local authority

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 there is an expectation that consultation and negotiation should take place primarily away from the glare of publicity and public scrutiny in keeping with employment law. 

The Cabinet Member is RECOMMENDED to:

(a)           approve the plan within the completed Initial Business Case for the vacation of a leased in premises in Osney Mead to produce revenue savings, and the allocation of previously agreed funding to source replacement properties for the affected services; and

(b)           delegate decision-making on the purchase of the replacement properties to the Director of Property and Assets in consultation with the Section 151 officer.

Recommendations approved.

The Chair approved the recommendations.
