Forward plan of key decisions
Go straight to published Forward
Plan
Executive decisions which fall into the categories detailed
below are classed as key decisions. The Council is obliged to
publish details of the key decisions which are to be taken by
cabinet or individual cabinet members, and details of these are
shown in the forward plan. Chief officers are also able to
take key decisions, but this happens rarely.
Every month on this website the Council publishes the current
Forward
Plan which details the key decisions scheduled to be
taken in the following 4 months.

whether an executive decision is a key decision, they must
involve
- revenue expenditure of £100,000 or more,
- savings of £50,000 or more,

or be
- decisions made by the Chief Executive, in exercise of emergency powers only, £300,000 or
- be decisions which will have a significant effect on communities living or working in one ward of the district.
Key decisions can be subject to the call-in procedure.
Only urgent key decisions are not
subject to the call-in procedure and do not have to be published in
the forward plan.
