The Local Authorities (Executive Arrangements) (Meetings and Access to Information) (England) Regulations 2012

Notice of Intention to take Key Decision, in Private Session, without 28-Day Notice

Notice is hereby given in accordance with Regulation 10 of the Local Authorities (Executive Arrangements) (Meetings and Access to Information) (England) Regulations 2012 that it was impracticable to give 28 days’ notice of the taking of the following decision, which is a Key Decision to be taken by the Executive at its meeting on 24^th June 2019:

·         Property Acquisition.

The reason for which it has been impracticable to give 28 days’ notice of this decision is as follows:

The Council has an opportunity to seek to acquire properties which would support its regeneration objectives, with a limited period of time in which to complete the acquisition.

The Chair of the Scrutiny Committee has been advised of this issue in accordance with Regulation 10.

Notice is further given in accordance with Regulation 5 of the Local Authorities (Executive Arrangements) (Meetings and Access to Information) (England) Regulations 2012 that the same decision is expected to contain information which will be considered in private session, and is therefore subject to the provisions of Regulation 5.(6). In accordance with this Regulation, the Chair of the Scrutiny Committee has been advised of this issue, and has agreed that the making of the decision is urgent and cannot reasonably be deferred, for the following reason:

The time limits associated with both the offer and completion mean it is not possible to defer the decision as otherwise the opportunity would be lost.
