DIRECTOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT SERVICES CONFIDENTIAL REPORT G1 - G2

This report should be read in conjunction with Report DSDS2.

REASON FOR PRESENTATION OF REPORT ON A CONFIDENTIAL BASIS

This report is considered on a confidential basis as it contains advice concerning the litigation, or advice that would otherwise be privileged from production in legal proceedings on the ground of legal professional privilege (Local Government Act 1993, Section 10A(2) (g).

REASON FOR PRESENTATION OF REPORT ON A CONFIDENTIAL BASIS

This report is submitted on a confidential basis as it involves information that would, if disclosed, confer a commercial advantage on a person with whom the council is conducting (or proposes to conduct) business. (Local Government Act 1993, section 10A(2)(c))

On balance, the public interest in preserving the confidentiality of the commercial information supplied, outweighs the public interest in openness and transparency in council decision making by discussing the matter in open meeting.
