by virtue of paragraph number 3 of the Council's Access to information Procedure Rules

Information which-(a)falls within any of paragraphs 1 to 7 above; and (b)is not prevented from being exempt by virtue of paragraph 8 or 9 above, is exempt information if and so long, as in all the circumstances of the case, the public interest in maintaining the exemption outweighs the public interest in disclosing the information
Confidential Appendix 2 to this report contains information deemed to be exempt from general publication based on Category 3 of Paragraph 10.4 of the Council’s Access to Information Procedure Rules. The appendix includes a table showing the rental income and values of property which, if disclosed prior to entering into any contracts, could put the Council at a commercial disadvantage. In applying the public interest test it is not considered appropriate to publish this information as it could influence bids for a property which may be to the Council’s financial detriment.
