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

SEND capital projects to support inclusion in mainstream schools

Description:

 

Purpose of Report:
The purpose of the report is to approve the allocation of the 2025/26 DfE SEND capital funding to projects to support inclusion in mainstream. York received a grant of £1.7 million as part of the national allocation of £738 million to deliver new places and improve provision for 2026/27. Schools could apply for funding to support small-scale capital projects that improve accessibility and inclusion for SEND pupils. Examples include:
? Minor modifications to classrooms, therapy rooms, or other learning spaces with a SEND-specific focus (creation of sensory rooms, SEN bases).
? Long-term use of specialised equipment such as assistive technology (e.g. hoists) or adapted furniture.
? Accessibility improvements e.g., ramps, automatic doors, or handrails.
? Enhancements to outdoor learning areas, including sensory paths, sensory panels.
? Lighting upgrades for pupils with visual impairments or sensory sensitivities.
? Soundproofing to reduce noise levels and support sensory regulation.

The Executive Member will be asked to:
Approve the allocation of grant funding to schools that have submitted successful expressions of interest to support the capital projects described in the report

Description:

 

Purpose of Report: Members agreed a strategic approach to city centre events in March 2025 Executive, including maintaining a wide variety of events, and implementing measures over the short medium and long term to improve the accessibility of the City Centre at these times.

This report explores options and recommends a preferred approach on the basis of accessibility improvements, economic and financial impact, security implications and operational effectiveness.

This work is in the context of forthcoming consultation of a permanent ATTRO, recommended by North Yorkshire Police (NYP) and which has emerged as a crucial consideration in the planning of all city centre events.


The Executive will be asked to:

i.              Consider options around the hours and days of operation of the Christmas Market and the broader implications of these.

ii.            Agree an approach to the 2026 Christmas Market hours and days of operation, and any associated measures required in order for this to be implemented.

Please be aware that the action date for this item has been changed and this item has been deferred from 14 April to 12 May 2026 in order to enable the proper consideration of further information and advice received from North Yorkshire Police.
