Background:

This report provided details of the draft South Thames Gateway Building Control Partnership Business Plan for 2012/2017, which outlined how the building control function for Medway, Gravesham and Swale Councils would be delivered over the next five financial years.

The Business Plan was presented in two parts, with the first including 5 strategic objectives for 2012/2017 and the second setting out the action plans and targets to achieve the objectives.

It was noted that the South Thames Gateway Building Control Joint Committee had agreed on 13 December 2012 the draft South Thames Gateway Building Control Partnership’s Business Plan for 2011/2014 for submission to the partner authorities.

A Diversity Impact Assessment screening form had been undertaken on the Business Plan and it was found that it was not necessary to carry out a full impact assessment.

Reasons

The constitution of the Joint Committee requires approval of the Business Plan for the following year by the Cabinet of each Partner Authority.
