Exempt Report on Planning Appeal Reason for exemption This report contains exempt information within the meaning of paragraph 5 of Schedule 12A of the Local Government Act 1972, as amended by the Local Government (Access to Information) Act 1985 and by the Local Government (Access to information) (Variation) Order 2006): Information in respect of which a claim to legal professional privilege could be maintained in legal proceedings as the proper administration of appeals requires councillors to receive advice from independent consultants in order to fully consider their response and in all the circumstances the public interest in withholding this information outweighs the interest in disclosing it.
Minutes: Description: The Planning Committee considered a report from Officers containing advice from the Council’s consultants and legal advisors about matters arising from an appeal against refusal of permission.
Members considered the matters arising from the report and debated them.
Decision: The Committee agreed to Approve the recommendation and gave instruction to Officers in order to progress the Appeal.
Given that this advice is legally privileged, the report arising from it and the discussions of Members are necessarily confidential and cannot be published at this time.
This confidentiality is in the Public Interest as it allows the Council to progress the legal proceedings without prejudicing its position.
