Decision as recorded
RESOLVED – That no change be made to the start time of meetings of the Environmental Licensing Committee.
Members considered the start times of meetings in response to a request from a Committee member to change the start time of future meetings to 4pm. Having regard to the other commitments of Committee members and the potential clash for Private Hire Drivers who may be employed on school runs at that time it was – RESOLVED – That no change be made to the start time of meetings of the Environmental Licensing Committee.
Agenda Items 7 to 12: Members determined in considering these reports that Paragraph 12 should apply. Their view on the public interest test was that to make this information public would disclose personal data relating to an individual in contravention of the principles of the Data Protection Act. Because of this and since there did not appear to be an overwhelming public interest requiring the disclosure of personal data they felt that the public interest in maintaining the exemption outweighed the public interest in disclosing the information. RESOLVED - That the press and public be excluded from the Meeting during consideration of the following items of business, as it is likely that, if they were present, there would be disclosure to them of exempt information as defined in Paragraph 12 of Part 4 of Schedule 12A to the Local Government Act 1972 (as amended).
