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 until 2017 and indicated what the reduced contributions would be.

A copy of the Business Plan was set out within Supplementary Agenda No. 1.

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 12 December 2013 the draft South Thames Gateway Building Control Partnership’s Business Plan for 2012/2017 for submission to the partner authorities.

A Diversity Impact Assessment screening form had been undertaken in respect of the Business Plan and was attached to the report. It was noted that this had 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.
