To consider any other item(s) of business in respect of which notice has been given in accordance with Rule 4 of the Council Procedure Rules and which the person presiding at the meeting is of the opinion should by reason of special circumstances be transacted at the meeting as a matter of urgency.

There were no urgent items. 

The reports relating to the following items are not for publication as they

contain exempt information as defined in Paragraph 12 of Part 4 and/or Paragraph 21 of Part 5 of Schedule 12A of the Local Government Act 1972 as amended by the Local Government (Access to Information)(Variation)(Wales) Order 2007.

If following the application of the public interest test the Committee resolves pursuant to the Act to consider these items in private, the public will be excluded from the meeting during such consideration.

RESOLVED:              That under Section 100A(4) of the Local Government Act 1972                               as amended by the Local Government (Access to Information)                                    (Variation) (Wales) Order 2007, the public be excluded from                           the meeting during consideration of the following items of                                        business as they contain exempt information as defined in                                       Paragraph 12 of Part 4 and/or Paragraph 21 of Part 5 of                                             Schedule 12A of the Act.

                                    Following the application of the public interest test it was                                          resolved that pursuant to the Act referred to above, to consider                                  the following items in private, with the public excluded from the                                meeting, as it was considered that in all the circumstances                                      relating to the items, the public interest in maintaining the                                         exemption outweighed the public interest in disclosing the                                              information, because the information would be prejudicial to                                    the applicants.
