The Planning Policy Committee considered a
report ‘The Provision of Resources to assist the Council on
matters relating to the A27 Arundel Improvements’ at its
meeting on 27 July 2022. The Planning Policy Committee report
contained a recommendation to approve a supplementary revenue
estimate of up to £50,000 which has a financial implication
for the Council. Under the Council Constitution, the Planning
Policy Committee resolution is subject to Policy and Finance
Committee and Full Council confirmation of finances being
available. This report recommends that Policy and Finance Committee
approve the finance subject to Full Council approval.
However, after this decision was made the Planning Policy Committee
discussed and agreed the future Local Plan work programme of the
Policy Team as a result of the decision of Full Council to approve
the continued suspension of work on the Local Plan for 2022/23.
This decision now means that some of the budget provision in
2022/23 for the Local Plan is available to fund other matters,
subject to necessary approval. Funding the proposed work by
virement from another budget is preferable as the net spending of
the Council is not increased although it will mean that the funding
for the Local Plan will need to be revisited in the
future.
