This item is subject to the General Exception procedure. It is proposed to take a key decision on the decision date shown below. It would be impracticable to defer the decision until it has been included on the next Forward Plan. This notice has been issued by the Chief Executive and the Leader of the Council and has been issued to the Chair(s) of the relevant scrutiny bodies.
Reason for urgency:
This matter is being added to the Forward Plan by way of General Exception as the public will only have 27 days notice rather than 28 days. This is due to the fact that it is important the Council has access to the grant funding which will be in the best interests of the Council and it's residents.
