Freehold Enfranchisement purchase of 1-32 Wyatts Close Godalming and surrounding land GU7 New!

Decision maker:  Executive

Decision:   1 Nov 2022

Lead officer:  Assistant Director of Housing Services

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.

Background Information
The agenda for each Executive meeting will be published at least 5 working days before the meeting and will be available for inspection at the Council Offices and on the Council’s Website (www.waverley.gov.uk). This programme gives at least 28 days notice of items before they are considered at a meeting of the Executive and consultation will be undertaken with relevant interested parties and stakeholders where necessary.

Exempt Information - whilst the majority of the Executive’s business at the meetings listed in this Plan will be open to the public and press, there will inevitably be some business to be considered which contains confidential, commercially sensitive or personal information which will be discussed in exempt session, i.e. with the press and public excluded. These matters are most commonly human resource decisions relating to individuals such as requests for early or flexible retirements and property matters relating to individual transactions. These may relate to key and non-key decisions. If they are not key decisions, 28 days notice of the likely intention to consider the item in exempt needs to be given.

This is formal notice under the Local Authorities (Executive Arrangements) (Meetings and Access to Information) (England) Regulations 2012 that part of any of the Executive meetings listed below may be held in private because the agenda and reports or annexes for that meeting contain exempt information under Part 1 of Schedule 12A to the Local Government Act 1972 (as amended), and that the public interest in withholding the information outweighs the public interest in disclosing it. Where this applies, the letter [E] will appear after the name of the topic, along with an indication of which exempt paragraph(s) applies, most commonly:

[E1 – Information relating to any individual; E2 – Information which is likely to reveal the identity of an individual; E3 – Information relating to the financial or business affairs of any particular person (including the authority holding that information); E5 Information in respect of which a claim to legal professional privilege could be maintained in legal proceedings; E7 – Information relating to any action taken or to be taken in connection with the prevention, investigation or prosecution of crime].
