Decision details

To review the Cobtree Manor Estate Risk Management Annual Review 2015 and consider if amendments need to be made to the risk management assessment for the operation and management of the charity.

Joanna Joyce, Cobtree Officer introduced the Cobtree Estate Risk Management Update Report.  It was explained that the report covered management of risk for the estate as a whole and that the risks relating to the Golf Course would be discussed in a separate report.

The Committee considered the introduction of car parking charges (due to be implemented on 5 October 2015) and the impact that this would have on visitor numbers.  The critical success factor of risk 3h ‘Visitor numbers are stabilised and back to current amount within 3 years’ as set out in the Risk Assessment document, attached as Appendix 1 to the Cobtree Manor Estate Risk Management Annual Review 2015 was considered to be too cautious.  Members felt that this should be monitored on a regular basis and reviewed.

RESOLVED:

1.  That the Risk Assessment document, attached as Appendix 1 to the Cobtree Manor Estate Risk Management Annual Review 2015, be endorsed; and

2.  That the critical success factor of risk 3h ‘Visitor numbers are stabilised and back to current amount within 3 years’ as set out in the Risk Assessment document, attached as Appendix 1 to the Cobtree Manor Estate Risk Management Annual Review 2015, be reviewed at regular intervals over the course of the next two years.
