Notice under Regulation 11: Key or Non Key Decision where scrutiny call in procedures are to be suspended for reasons of special urgency

Pursuant to Regulation 11 of the Local Authorities (Executive Arrangements) (Meetings and Access to Information) (England) Regulations 2012 (‘the Regulations’), I hereby give Notice that: -

The Executive intends to make a Non Key Decision on 22 April 2025 regarding the following report entitled: Approval of Property Management Arrangements

Purpose of Report: To approve a five-year letting property management agreement

The Executive will be asked to:

i) Retrospectively approve a five-year letting agreement;

ii) Authorise officers to put in place appropriate documentation to rectify the arrangements in respect of the property and issue relevant delegation to the Director of Housing and Communities to take such steps as are necessary to complete the resulting documents. 

This decision will not be subject to the call-in process as in accordance with article 11.8 of the Council’s Constitution:

“The call-in procedure shall not apply where the decision being taken is urgent. A decision will be considered urgent if any delay likely to be caused by the call-in process would, for example, seriously prejudice the Council’s or the public’s interests. The record of the decision, and notice by which it is made public, shall state whether in the opinion of the decision making person or body, the decision is an urgent one together with the reason for urgency, and therefore not subject to call-in”.
