CABINET FORWARD PLAN

 

What is the Cabinet Forward Plan?

 

The Cabinet Forward Plan is a list of all non-key and key decisions the Authority intends to take during the next four month period.  The Plan is updated monthly on or around the 14th of each month and is available to view on-line at www.york.gov.uk

 

What is a non-key decision?

 

For the purposes of the Plan, a non-key decision is defined as a ‘decision of normal importance’ which:

 

·                 the Cabinet can collectively take as set out in Part 3 of the council’s constitution

 

·                 which any Cabinet Member can take individually in line with the Council’s Scheme of Delegation

 

What is a key decision?

 

A key decision is defined as a decision which is likely:

 

·                 to result in the Council incurring expenditure, or making savings, which are significant having regard to the Council’s budget for the service or function to which the decision relates i.e.:

 

▫           make a saving of more than 10% of the budget for a particular area  - or be more than £500,000

▫           require spending that is more than 10% of the budget for a particular area - or be more than £500,00

 

·                 to be significant in terms of its effects on communities

 

In addition to elected Councillors, chief officers can also take key decisions in line with the Officers Delegation Scheme as set out in Schedule 3, Part 3 of the Council’s Constitution

 

 

 

What information does the Forward Plan contain?

 

Each issue entered in the Forward Plan lists:

 

·                 The history of the issue in relation to the Forward Plan

·                 What consultation will be undertaken prior to a decision being made

·                 The name and contact details of the chief officer responsible for the issue and the forthcoming report

·                 The date of the meeting at which a decision is due to be taken

·                 The wards which will be affected by any decision taken

 

If I have a query about an entry on the Forward Plan, who do I contact ?

 

Wherever possible, full contact details are listed in the individual entries in the Forward Plan.  If you are unsure how to make contact or have any general enquiries about the Forward Plan, please ring Democratic Services on Tel No. 01904 551031

Proposed diversion of public bridleway, Heworth (Without) 1 and 2

Description:

 

Diverting a section of public bridleway Heworth (Without) 1 and 2 away from Cow Moor Farm buildings, on to a wider and longer route mainly passing through mixed woodlands.

The application to divert the public bridleway has been made by the land owner because moving the bridleway away from its current alignment, next to farm buildings will streamline farming operations.
This report was approved by the Executive Member for the decision session scheduled for the 5 December 2024. The item was deferred by officers on the 3 December 2024 as further discussions were required with the landowner regarding the alignment of the path. These issues have now been resolved.

The Executive Member will be asked to authorise the making of a public path order to divert public bridleway Heworth (Without) 1 and 2 and if no objections are received, or if received are subsequently withdrawn, authorises the confirmation of the order.

Title of Report:

 

Black Dike Lane – Danger Reduction scheme

Description:

 

Purpose of report: The Council received a petition from residents of Black Dike Lane and Manor Close, Poppleton. It was presented to Full Council by Councillor Hook on 21 October 2021 and reported to decision session on 18 January 2022 and thereafter added to the Danger Reduction programme for review.

The concerns have been reviewed as part of a feasibility study and this report provides feedback from the study as well as from the subsequent consultation exercise.

The Executive Member is asked to consider the findings and recommendations of the study and consultation, and to approve the recommended action for progression to implementation.
The Executive Member will be asked to approve Option 1 as set out in Annex A (Plan 2) of the report comprising:
(i) A complete refresh of all road markings along Black Dike Lane and replacement of all faded or damaged signs, as well as hedge trimming to improve visibility of the signage;
(ii) The introduction of additional signs and road markings to further reinforce the existing signs and markings and better highlight existing hazards to ensure motorists drive appropriately in compliance with the signed speed limits, and to dissuade larger goods vehicles from using Black Dike Lane; and
(iii) The reduction of the 30mph speed limit to 20mph under an Experimental Traffic Regulation order (ETRO) for up to 18 months, after which a further decision will be sought about whether to make the ETRO permanent.

Title of Report:

 

Adoption of York’s Local Plan

Description:

 

Purpose of Report: This report is to consider the outcomes of the Local Plan Examination and final report by our independently appointed Inspectors. Subject to the Inspectors conclusions, this report will recommend for the Local Plan to be adopted inclusive of any modifications, as advised, to allow the plan to be ‘sound’.

As a planning authority, City of York Council has a statutory duty under the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 to produce a Local Plan setting out the spatial development strategy for the city. The preparation of a new Local Plan commenced in 2012 following a decision to prepared under the new National Planning Policy Framework. York’s draft Local Plan and supporting evidence base was submitted to the Secretary of State for Examination on 25 May 2018 following an extensive drafting and consultation process. Subsequently, Independent Inspectors appointed from the Planning Inspectorate have undertaken a comprehensive examination, including 5 stages of public hearing sessions between 2019 – 2024. As part of this process, modifications to the draft Local Plan have been proposed, agreed with the Inspectors and consulted on in citywide consultations. The Inspectors have considered all of the information submitted during the examination process and will reach their conclusion as to whether the plan is ‘sound’ and therefore able to be adopted in their final report.

Relevant to this report is the recommendation made at Executive on 26 January 2023:


(iv) in the event that there are no material changes following the conclusion of the consultation exercise on the Proposed Main Modifications and the associated evidence base and following receipt of the Inspectors’ report, the Local Plan (as modified in accordance with the Proposed Main Modifications and the associated evidence base) and the Inspectors’ report be submitted to Full Council by the Leader, in consultation with the Corporate Director of Place, to recommend adoption.

Reason: To support progress towards adoption of the Local Plan, which will ensure the Council meets its statutory and national planning policy requirements.

The adoption of the Local Plan is a wholly exceptional event, and for that reason this entry has been prepared; there is no legal or constitutional requirement to include this entry on the Forward Plan, and further entries in relation to Council matters will not be made.

Council will be asked to:

Subject to the conclusions of the Inspectors report, the recommendation to Council will be to:

• Accept the conclusions set out in the Inspectors Report, including where necessary proposed modifications to the submitted draft Local Plan (2018).

Reason: To allow a ‘sound’ Local Plan to be adopted as the spatial development plan for York.

Item Type:

 

Executive Member Decision - of 'Normal' importance

Title of Report:

 

North Yorkshire & York, Local Nature Recovery Strategy (LNRS) consultation draft

Description:

 

To present the draft LNRS strategy ahead of an intended public consultation on the draft strategy to be carried out by North Yorkshire Council. The Executive Member will be asked to in accordance with LNRS Regulations 2023, to decide whether to issue a letter to North Yorkshire Council agreeing to the publication of the draft strategy.

Reason for deferral: North Yorkshire Council are the “responsible authority” in leading the development of a Local Nature Recovery Strategy, their similar decision is now in March therefore moving York’s decision to the same month ensures the same information is presented to both authorities as decision makers.
