The Democratic Services Officer introduced the report, and referenced the workshop held with the Committee as outlined in the report. The appendices to the report were outlined and it was explained that there was a strong steer to adopt the two new proposed scopes, and move away from the items in last year�s work programme.

In considering the topics for the 2024/25 work programme, the Committee supported adopting the CIL and Section 106 Review and a Planning Enforcement Review as topical issues that could use some clarity for Members and for the public. The Committee agreed to leave some flexibility and capacity in the work programme in anticipation of the release of the Cabinet Forward Plan.

RESOLVED: That the following items be added to the Committee�s Work Programme for 2024/25:

CIL and Section 106 Review; and
Planning Enforcement Review.
