Decision details

RESOLVED

That in accordance with section 100A of the Local Government Act 1972 (the Act) the public and the press be excluded from the meeting during the consideration of:

(1)  agenda item 17 (Development of Land at Barnfield Drive Chichester) for the reason that it is likely in view of the nature of the business to be transacted that there would be disclosure to the public of ‘exempt information’ being information of the nature described in Paragraph 3 (information relating to the financial or business affairs of any particular person (including the authority holding that information)) in Part I of Schedule 12A to the Act and

(2)  agenda item 18 (Southern Gateway Regeneration) for the reason that it is likely in view of the nature of the business to be transacted that there would be disclosure to the public of ‘exempt information’ being information of the nature described in Paragraphs 3 (information relating to the financial or business affairs of any particular person (including the authority holding that information)), 5 (information in respect of which a claim to legal professional privilege could be maintained in legal proceedings) and 6 (information which reveals that the authority proposes – (a) to give under any enactment a notice under or by virtue of which requirements are imposed on a person or (b) to make an order or direction under any enactment) in Part I of Schedule 12A to the Act

and because in all the circumstances of the case the public interest in maintaining the exemption outweighs the public interest in disclosing the information.
