9. OTHER BUSINESS – If approved under Item 3 above
9a. Petition: COMMUNITY INFRASTRUCTURE LEVY
To note receipt of a petition. The reason the petition will only be received is because of the Purdah period which the Council must comply with following the announcement of the General Election on 12 December 2019. The petition will be formally received at the 21 January 2020 meeting.
10. EXCLUSION OF PRESS AND PUBLIC
If the Committee wishes to consider the remaining item in private, it will be appropriate for a resolution to be passed in the following terms:-
“that under Section 100A of the Local Government Act 1972 the press and public be excluded from the meeting for the following item of business on the grounds that it involves the likely disclosure of exempt information as defined under paragraphs 1 to 7 of Part I of Schedule 12A to the Act. It has been decided by the Council that in all the circumstances, the public interest in maintaining the exemption outweighs the public interest in disclosing the information.”
(Note: If other confidential business is approved under item 3, it will also be necessary to specify the class of exempt or confidential information in the additional items.)
