Report HPR2023/012

The report sought approval to draw down funds from the Council’s Technology Fund for one-off costs associated with the replacement of the Planning and Building Control Case Management IT Systems.

In response to a question from a Member, the Assistant Director Planning and Building Control advised that the planned new systems would provide a replacement for both back-office case management activities as well as a new public facing planning portal.  The requested funds did not include costs associated with the procurement of new Planning and Building Control Case Management IT Systems which would be subject to a further report. 

RESOLVED: That the Council’s Executive be recommended to agree that funds totalling £402,307 be drawn down from the Council’s Technology Fund.
