Decision

DECISION: The Cabinet Member for Finance approved the discretionary rate relief applications from Baden Powell Hall and Palmer Hall Management, and refused the discretionary rate relief applications from King George V Playing Field Northleach Trust and Friends of the Cotswolds.

Reason for decision: Baden Powell Hall and Palmer Hall Management were considered to be carrying out activities that support the Council's priorities and/or had provided evidence of financial circumstances meeting the criteria to justify an award, as set out in the exempt Annex A. King George V Playing Field Northleach Trust and Friends of the Cotswolds were assessed, based on their income, expenditure and reserves, as not meeting the criteria to justify an award. The Cabinet Member noted that the refusals should not be taken as any reflection on the value of the work undertaken by those organisations for their communities.
