Issue - meetings

To consider the report of the Director of Strategy and Resources (copy enclosed).

The Committee considered the report of the Director of Strategy and Resources that provided the new Committee at its first meeting with an update on the existing scrutiny workplan for review. The Chairperson introduced the report and deferred to the Corporate Governance Project Officer to give further detail on some of the items that would be before the Committee and the Working Group at their next meetings, particularly Planning Decision Making and Planning Enforcement.

The Head of Service - Planning Policy and Implementation, gave Members an update on performance and resources.  In reply to a question, she added that work on the review of the Planning Enforcement Policy would depend on service priorities and how the new structure and resourcing is established and suggested it would be helpful to include input from members.

The Chairperson then moved the recommendation set out in the report and this was agreed by assent.

RESOLVEDthat the Committee endorses the existing scrutiny workplan, together with the updates, as a basis for the planning of its future meetings.
