Berners Close Regeneration Site Appointment of ‘Preferred Developer’ part II Report 12.11.2008

The request was successful.

Dear South Lakeland District Council,

In the Minutes of the SLDC Cabinet on 12th November 2008 under Agenda Item No: 6 there is a reference to a Report Title: Berners Close Regeneration Site – Grange-over-Sands - Appointment of ‘Preferred Developer’ (Part I) which is included with the Minutes.

IThe Minutes also refers to a "Part II report of the same title, in which recommendations are made in respect of the selection of a ‘Preferred Developer’." The Part II report is not included either with the said Minutes or separately in the online document archive, so I would like to request a copy of that Part II report please, which I understand from the Minutes of the Cabinet meeting on 12th Nov 2008 was withheld due to commercial sensitivity. As the report is now a decade old and relates to a contract which was subsequently cancelled, there would seem to be no valid reason to further withhold the document from public view.

Yours faithfully,
Anne Nichols

Dear Anne,

I am writing in respect of your recent enquiry for information held by the
Council under the provisions of the Freedom of Information Act. You asked
the following:

In the Minutes of the SLDC Cabinet on 12th November 2008 under Agenda Item
No: 6 there is a reference to a  Report Title:  Berners Close Regeneration
Site – Grange-over-Sands - Appointment of ‘Preferred Developer’ (Part I)
which is included with the Minutes.

IThe Minutes also refers to a "Part II report of the same title, in which
recommendations are made in respect of the selection of a ‘Preferred
Developer’."   The Part II report is not included either with the said
Minutes or separately in the online document archive, so I would like to
request a copy of that Part II report please, which I understand from the
Minutes of the Cabinet meeting on 12th Nov 2008 was withheld due to
commercial sensitivity.  As the report  is now a decade old and relates to
a contract which was subsequently cancelled, there would seem to be no
valid reason to further withhold the document from public view.

I would like to take this opportunity to apologise for the late response
to your request for information. I am sorry that South Lakeland District
Council did not respond to your information request within the statutory
20 working days as directed under the Freedom of Information Act 2000. I
am grateful for your patience regarding this matter and I am sorry if this
has caused any inconvenience to you.

In accordance with your request please see the attached documents.

You are free to use any information supplied for your own personal use.
However, any other type of re-use, for example, by publishing the
information or issuing copies to the public will require the permission of
the copyright owner.

the right to ask us to review our handling of your request. Any request
for an Internal Review must be made in writing within 40 days of this
response. Should you wish to request a review, please email [1][South
Lakeland District Council request email] or write to Paul Mountford,
