Planning Appeal: Solar Farm at Wauntysswg, Tredegar
To consider report of the Service Manager – Development & Estates.
Minutes:
Having regard to the views expressed by the Proper Officer regarding the public interest test, that on balance the public interest in maintaining the exemption outweighed the public interest in disclosing the information and that the report should be exempt.
RESOLVED that the public be excluded whilst this item of business is transacted as it is likely there would be a disclosure of exempt information as defined in Paragraph 16 and 17, Schedule 12A of the Local Government Act 1972 (as amended).
Consideration was given to the report of the Service Manager Development & Estates.
The Service Manager Development and Estates spoke in detail to the report and outlined the key points contained therein. The Service Manager referred to the options for consideration which were debated at length along with the report.
