Agenda item

The Committee received the Business Plan for 2016-19 for the Department of the Built Environment which outlined the departmental vision, key aims and priorities for the next three years.

The Director of the Built Environment reported that the document consisted of an overarching plan relating to the whole department, with Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) broken into two distinct categories reflecting the work of the Planning & Transportation and Port Health & Environmental Services Committees which the department reported into.

In response to a question concerning future monitoring of the Business Plan, the Director advised that this would be done by way of quarterly monitoring reports to the Committee which she would ensure were sufficiently comprehensive.

Reference was made to the fact that there was no mention of the role of Members or partnership working in delivering the objectives contained in the Plan.

RESOLVED – that the contents of the report and associated appendices be approved.
