(1)            Urgent Business

The Council had received an appeal regarding residential and industrial development at Cardway Cartons, Linley Lane, Alsager.  In order to finalise a Statement of Case for the appeal inquiry, Officers needed to discuss the merits of the Council’s refusal reasons with the Board.  The urgency arose because the Statement of Case had to be submitted by close of business on
8 July 2009.

The Chairman announced that in accordance with S100B (4) (b) of the Local Government Act 1972, she was of the opinion that this item of business should be considered at the meeting as a matter of urgency:

As the report contained exempt information and the public interest in keeping it confidential outweighed the public interest in disclosing it, the Chairman agreed it should be taken as a Part 2 Item.

(2)            Exclusion of the Press and Public

RESOLVED:

That under Section 100(A)(4) of the Local Government Act 1972 the press and public be excluded from the meeting for the items of business listed below on the grounds it involves the likely disclosure of exempt information as defined in paragraph 5 of Part 1 of Schedule 12A to the Act.
