meaning of Part 1 of Schedule 12A to the Local Government Act 1972,
as amended by the Local Government (Access to Information) Act 1985

And on the basis that publication of these appendices would not be in
the public interest because publication of the Councils approach to this
agreement prior to contract award and negotiation of the Development
Agreement would likely prejudice the Councils ability to agree the most
advantageous terms and conditions with the preferred bidder. Details of
the contract process and evaluation of bids can be made available after
exchange of contracts.
