Information relating to the financial or business affairs of any particular person (including the authority holding that information).
The public interest in maintaining the exemption outweighs the public interest in disclosing the information because the decision contains information relating to the financial business affairs of the proposed seller and the Council. Disclosure of negotiations between the seller and the Council relating to the proposed purchase price at this pre-contract stage could adversely affect the Council's position with the seller. Additionally, disclosure of the Council's appraisal of the property could have similar adverse affects.
