Decision details

The information contained in the exempt appendix 1 to this report relates to the financial or business affairs of a particular person, and of the Council. This information is not publicly available from the statutory registers of information kept in respect of certain companies and charities. It is considered that since this information was obtained through Expressions of Interest then it is not in the public interest to disclose this information at this point in time. Also it is considered that the release of such information would or would be likely to prejudice the Council’s commercial interests in relation to other similar transactions in that prospective purchasers of other similar properties would have access to information about the nature and level of consideration which may prove acceptable to the Council. It is therefore considered that this element of the report should be treated as exempt under Access to Information Procedure Rule 10.4 (3)

b) for the Council to enter into a grant agreement and nominations agreement with Leeds Jewsih Housing Association to facilitate the above spend, on the terms set out in this report.
