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

Reason: As active negotiations have been ongoing with the interested parties, it was originally hoped that the matter would be concluded during the lifetime of the current contract extension; however, it recently became apparent that this now appears unlikely.  Following advice, an update on progress and future planning was required, and has been prepared at short notice.

Adoption of the Local List (planning application validation checklist)

Description:

 

The Local List is a list of documents required to make a planning application valid.

The checklist itself provides guidance on our local validation requirements which have been identified as necessary to indicate development proposals' compliance with the National Planning Policy Framework, the Local Plan and other relevant legislation. The requirements are considered proportionate to the nature and scale of the proposals and comply with current best practice.

The draft checklist has been developed with input from technical officers however there is no statutory requirement for public consultation on the checklist prior to its adoption. In accordance with the draft Statement of Community Involvement (https://democracy.york.gov.uk/documents/s174350/ANNEX%20C%20SCI%20update%202024.pdf), and following agreement of a consultation strategy via officer decision, an 8 week public consultation did take place in the summer 2025. Six responses were received and comments have been incorporated in the current checklist where appropriate.

This report seeks Executive Member endorsement to publish the checklist on the Council’s website so that it can be used to validate planning applications and ensure the correct information is submitted with each application.

The Executive Member will be asked to note that the draft Local List has undergone a period of consultation in accordance with the Council’s draft Statement of Community Involvement and the modifications proposed following that consultation.

Approve the modified Local List for publication on the Council website and use in validating planning applications.

Update: Item has been withdrawn on 19/11/25.

Reason: In December 2024 the Executive Member delegated publishing of the final version subject to an officer decision. The Executive Member is happy for officers to proceed without bringing this to a further Executive Member Decision Session.

Process:

 

The council is currently in a contract with a supplier to provider NHS Health Checks until 31 March 2026. As it as requirement of The Local Authorities (Public Health Functions) Act 2013 to provide/commission NHS Health Checks, a new contract is being sought from April 2026. The Director of Public Health has indicated that the annual budget will be £100k, with a contract term of 5 years. This brings the total contract value to £500k. The commercial procurement team have advised that a market testing exercise is to be undertaken initially. Depending on the outcome of this market testing, it will determine the procurement route (i.e. competitive tender, direct award to current supplier). In any case, as the service is providing a healthcare service directly to residents (patients), the procurement is within the scope of NHS Provider Selection Regime, which came into force on 1 Jan 2024.

Housing Tenancy Policy and Strategy

Description:

 

The report proposes approval of a Tenancy Policy and Strategy document that sets policy approaches for tenancy management as social housing landlord, and strategic principles that other Registered Providers in the City are required to have regard to.

The report will also set out proposals to develop a Rent Setting and Service Charges Policy, building on the City of York Living Rent approach (Appendix A to Annex A) that maximises investment capacity through rental income, where this is manageable or mitigated for tenants, for example through the welfare benefits systems.

The Executive Member will be asked to approve the proposed Tenancy Policy and Strategy document that will be annexed to the report.

Consultation on a York Wide Smoke Control Area (SCA)

Description:

 

The report outlines the results of a public consultation on proposals to further reduce emissions of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and other pollutants from solid fuel burning through a York wide Smoke Control Area (SCA). The proposals will enable CYC to manage more effectively the burning of the most polluting solid fuels and the appliances they are burnt in.

The Executive will be asked to

a) review the consultation summary (Annex C) and full comments (Annex D) received in relation to the public consultation on a draft order to expand the SCA to cover the whole of CYC’s administrative area (and associated revocation of historical orders covering the existing area).

b) subject to consideration of any objections, to delegate authority to Director of Director of Environmental and Regulatory Services, in consultation with the Director of Governance, to approve with or without modifications the making of the final SCA Order and the making of any orders to revoke existing Smoke Control orders made on or after 13 November 1980.

Consultation process:

The Clean Air Act 1993 sets out the individual process for revoking existing orders and creating new orders. CYC Legal Services were consulted in the preparation of the draft order, the process for revoking existing orders and in terms of the consultation process to ensure compliance with statutory guidance and legislation.

A 6-week public consultation from 22nd April to 3rd June 2025 included:
• Production of a series of accessible consultation webpages to provide further information on the proposals and background information. A ‘consultation summary’ document was also produced, with copies available on request to those not digitally enabled.
• Printed copies of consultation materials draft Smoke Control Orders (and maps) were made available for public inspection at West Offices throughout the consultation period.
• An online survey was made available via the CYC Consultations webpage. Hard copies of the survey were made available via West Offices reception and upon request.
• A press release on 22 April 2025: https://www.york.gov.uk/news/article/1667/council-launches-consultation-on-extending-city-s-smoke-control-area. Articles also appeared in York Press online on 13, 19 and 24 March 2025.
• In line with statutory DEFRA guidance, a public notice was placed in the London Gazette and York Press on 8 and 15 April 2025, stating that CYC proposes to make an order to expand the SCA (and outlining its general effect) with details of how to comment.
• Physical copies of the notice were placed at 32 locations outside the existing SCA, including outlying villages, throughout the consultation period to ensure people who may be affected are aware of the proposal.
• Promotion via residents’ newsletters issued by CYC’s Marketing and Communications team throughout the consultation period, including the Families Newsletter (24 April and 22 May 2025), Resident update (1 May and 15 May 2025) and the Health and Wellbeing Newsletter (7 May 2025).
• Promotion via CYC’s social media channels throughout the consultation period, including Facebook.
• Copies of consultation posters were displayed across all CYC libraries
• Additional notification of the consultation was sent directly to other relevant stakeholders including Department for Environment Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA), York Travellers Trust (YTT), neighbouring local authorities and York based suppliers of solid fuels.
• CYC’s Supported Housing Manager / Traveller and Gypsy Site contacts were made aware of the consultation and were asked to signpost residents with solid fuel burning appliances to the consultation.
• Notification of the consultation was sent directly to all CYC Councillors and Parish Councillors on 22 April 2025.
• CYC’s Environmental Protection team were available to answer questions on the consultation over the phone, in person by appointment or by email.

Consultees:
Local residents and businesses who burn wood and other solid fuels. Local fuel merchants would also have an interest in the proposals as delivery of non-authorised fuels in a Smoke Control Area is an offence.
