Mr Rich Clarke, Head
of Audit Partnership, presented the report. The report set out an updated risk management
framework which had arisen out of the recent risk
workshop.
The Committee raised
concerns regarding the mitigated risk score for no deal
Brexit. The concerns were not related
to the actions that were taken or the quality of the planning, but
rather that significant elements of the risk were out of the
Council’s control. The Committee
requested that the score remain at its reported level, however it
was noted that the risk owner, Mr Green, Director of Finance and
Business Improvement was carrying out actions to mitigate the
risk.
Concerns were also
raised regarding the risk of building incomplete communities
arising out of a failure in implementing the local
plan. It was noted that the risk was a
natural consequence of delivering a complex plan at the speed and
volume required.
RESOLVED:
That
1.
The risk relating to short term Brexit impacts
remain at its reported rating, noting that the risk is owned by the
Director of Finance and Business Improvement;
2.
The other revised Corporate Risks set out in
Appendix 1 to the report be noted; and
3.
The revised Risk Framework set out in Appendix 2 to
the report be approved.
