The Executive considered a proposal for Growth Fund support for a 2 year temporary Planner for the Development Management team to work on major planning applications.

The report had been scrutinised by the Executive, Resources and Contracts PDS Committee on 23^rd June 2021 and the Committee supported the recommendations.

RESOLVED that

(1) Up to £116k from the Growth Fund earmarked reserve be used to fund a Planning Officer post for a two-year fixed term.

(2) It is noted that this will be reviewed after one year, taking into account the anticipated additional income generated and any underspends within the Planning Department’s existing budget, and that any funding not required will be returned to the Growth Fund.
