Issue - meetings

The Board gave consideration to the Work Programme and discussed future topics.  Officers confirmed that at the meeting to be held on 30th March 2010 Members would be given the opportunity to investigate both  the planning policy (in light of the Planning Peer Review) and the licensing policy of the Council.  The Head of Financial Services confirmed that this would be dealt with by the Executive Director (Planning, Regeneration, Regulatory and Housing Services). 

Members agreed that by planning the work programme in advance it gave the relevant departments the opportunity to provide a comprehensive response to assist Members in the decision making process. 

As there were very few items programmed in for the Overview Board meeting to be held on 2nd March 2010, after discussion, Members agreed that this meeting time should be used as a meeting for the Community Involvement in Local Democracy Task Group.

RESOLVED that the Overview Board Work Programme be agreed.
