Cabinet Member for Planning

Cabinet considered the report of the Head of Planning and the above Cabinet Member which set out the draft South Thames Gateway Building Control Partnership Business Plan for 2015-18.

The Cabinet Member for Planning considered that the report was a good example of the openness and transparency of the Partnership, demonstrating value for money and increasing fee earning opportunities at decreasing cost to the Council.  He advised that the Partnership’s bid to the Government’s Transformation Challenge Fund had been unsuccessful, but work would continue to develop the Partnership.  He advised that, subject to Council’s approval of the new Corporate Plan for 2015-2018, Swale’s corporate priorities as set out in the document would be amended. 

RESOLVED:

(1)  That the draft South Thames Gateway Building Control Partnership Business Plan for 2015-2018 be agreed.
