Background:

 

This report provided details of the draft South Thames Gateway Building Control Partnership Business Plan for 2011/2014 (incorporating the financial Plan 2011-15), and also provided details of the proposal for agreement for Medway to continue in the Partnership for a second term.

 

On 8 December 2011 the South Thames Gateway Building Control Joint Committee agreed the draft South Thames Gateway Building Control Partnership’s Business Plan for 2011/14 as set out in an exempt appendix. This encompassed the comments already received from the Partner Authorities. However, the three year business plan extended beyond the first term of the Partnership agreement. Therefore, at the Joint Committee, Members also considered a report regarding the Partnership continuing for a second term and unanimously supported the proposal.

 

Gravesham Borough Council’s Cabinet agreed to continue in the partnership for a second term and agreed the Business Plan at its meeting on 9 January 2012.

 

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.
