Issue - meetings

Members considered an update on the latest budget monitoring position for 2011/12 for the Planning Division based on expenditure and activity levels up to 31 August 2011.  Latest projections indicated an underspend of £127k.

Councillor Fawthrop highlighted a discrepancy between the quoted underspend figure of £127k (page 177) and the quoted overspend figure of £84k stated in paragraph 5.2 (page 179). The Chief Planner explained that these were two separate issues - the overspend of £84k did not relate to strategy and renewal or other elements of the department and was compensated by the underspend of £127k which included all elements of the department. The Chief Planner was confident that a balance would be achieved within six months.

RESOLVED that the report be noted.
