URGENT DECISIONS TAKEN

These are decisions which, because of special circumstances needed to be taken urgently without the normal publication and call-in rules applying.  The decisions are not subject to normal Call-in rules and will be implemented immediately.

Provision is made for such circumstances in the Council's Constitution:

o Rule 15 decisions were taken under the 'General Exception' provision

o Rule 16 decisions were taken under the 'Special Urgency' provision

4.

RULE 16 Extending Cabinet delegation to enable Property disposal of Riverside and Loan to ACL

Decision maker:  Cabinet Member - Economic Development

Decision:   23 Jul 2017

Lead officer:  Michael Hewitt

Decision status:  Approved

Notice of proposed decision first published: 23/06/2017

This decision will be taken under urgency procedures.

Reason for urgency:
The rationale for the decision is to enable the progression of the Riverside development and to ring fence risk and maximise returns to the council through an improved VAT and Corporation Tax position.
The decision is being made in accordance with Rule 16 of the Council’s constitution. It would generally be a Cabinet decision but to enable the proposed development to proceed it is necessary to use the Council’s urgency procedure.
The urgency arises as a result of the increased costs to the Council caused by any delay to the development timetable.
