Issue - meetings

The Cabinet is requested to consider the agenda report, which is confidential exempt* material with a restricted circulation to Chichester District Council members and relevant officers only (printed on salmon-coloured paper), and to make the following resolution:

That authority be delegated to the Director of Growth and Place to renegotiate the ground rent arrangements with the developer provided that there is no overall adverse impact on Chichester District Council’s anticipated income from the development, the outcome of which will be reported to a subsequent meeting of the Cabinet.

*[Note The ground for excluding the public and press during this item is that it is likely that there would be a disclosure to them of ‘exempt information’ of the description specified in Paragraph 3 (information relating to the financial or business affairs of any particular person (including the authority holding that information)) of Part I of Schedule 12A to the Local Government Act 1972]

RESOLVED

That authority be delegated to the Director of Growth and Place after consultation with the Leader of the Council to renegotiate the ground rent arrangements with the developer provided that there is an improved impact on Chichester District Council’s income from the development, the outcome of which will be reported to a subsequent meeting of the Cabinet.
