Decision type: Key
Decision status: Recommendations Approved
Notice of proposed decision first published: 20/10/2022
This decision will be taken under urgency procedures.
Reason for urgency:
General Exception Notice
An urgent decision is required that has not been on the Executive Forward Plan for the requisite 28 day period. If the Executive resolves to approve the recommendations in the report, there is a deadline of 7 November 2022 to exchange contracts on the proposed freehold purchase. The Mayor's agreement has been sought and obtained to treat this as an urgent decision, which will not be subject to call in by the relevant overview and scrutiny committee pursuant to paragraph 16.3 (Call-in and Urgency) of the Overview and Scrutiny Procedure Rules. This is because the time it would take to allow any call in to be made and dealt with would clearly exceed the legal deadline of 7 November. Given this, it is considered that a delay caused by the application of the call-in process would seriously prejudice the Council’s and the public’s interests in this matter.
Decision due: 1 Nov 2022 by Executive
