Decision details

The report recommends acceptance of terms for the sale of Land at Bluebell Way, Preston.

This is deemed to be a Key Decision and the provisions of Standing Order C21 have been complied with. Compliance with Standing Orders C19 and C20 was impractical due to the reasons set out in the report.

This decision should be implemented immediately for the purposes of Standing Order C29 as any delay could adversely affect the execution of the County Council's responsibilities. The reasons for this are set out in the report.

The full report is not available for publication as it contains exempt information as defined in Paragraph 3 of Part 1 of Schedule 12A to the Local Government Act, 1972. The report contains information relating to the financial or business affairs of any particular person (including the authority holding that information). It is considered that in all the circumstances of the case the public interest in maintaining the exemption outweighs the public interest in disclosing the information.

The Leader of the County Council approved the recommendation as set out in the full report.

This decision is urgent and cannot await the next meeting of Cabinet on 9th August 2018. The reason for this is that any delay in reaching a conditional contract position could risk losing the highest acceptable tender.  This decision is therefore being taken on behalf of Cabinet by the Leader of the Council in accordance with the provisions of Standing Order C28(1).

This decision should be implemented immediately for the purpose of Standing Order C29 as any delay could adversely affect the execution of the County Council's responsibilities. The reason for this is that any delay in reaching a conditional contract position could risk losing the highest acceptable tender.
