THE ROYAL BOROUGH OF KENSINGTON AND CHELSEA

FORWARD PLAN OF KEY DECISIONS

MAY 2008 TO AUGUST 2008

The Council is required by law to publish once a month a Forward Plan of Key Decisions proposed to be taken over the coming four months. Key decisions are defined as any executive-side matter that is not already delegated to officers which:

(i) involves income or expenditure of £100,000 or more; and/or (ii) is likely to have a significant impact1 on the community in

one or more electoral wards.

Notes:

1. For example (a) a decision to close a facility, alter services or carry out streetworks would be a key decision whereas (b) a matter which has no obvious impact on local people, such as an internal Council policy, would not. Where a decision is likely to have a significant impact, but only on a very small number of people, this will not be a key decision if it is under the financial threshold; however, in accordance with good practice, the decision-maker should ensure that those affected are informed in sufficient time for them to have an input into the decision-making process.

2. Responses to consultation documents or representations

on external issues where the comments to be submitted are consistent with Council policy and/or are part of an on-going dialogue within that established policy will not constitute a key decision. However, where a significant or substantive new response is required, this will constitute a key decision.

3. In the case of any strategy or plan, the key decision or decisions will be made at the meeting where the strategy or plan is discussed - or through the individual Cabinet Member decision route as appropriate. Subsequent discussion and decisions about the finalising of any text consequent upon such considerations will not be deemed to be a key decision.

4. Grants of £20,000 or more to voluntary organisations are

deemed in normal circumstances to have a 'significant impact on the community' and will therefore be key decisions.

5. In any case of uncertainty, the matter in question shall be

treated as a key decision. Furthermore the Leader or any Cabinet Member can give notice that they wish themselves to take any executive-side decision within their portfolio that would otherwise fall within an officer's delegated authority (i.e. recall a specific delegated matter) subject to the usual requirements around advance publicity on the Forward Plan.

6. Any matter that does not fall within the above definition is

delegated to the relevant officer of the Authority - albeit that any officer can, where he sees fit to do so, consult with the relevant decision-taker prior to taking any decision falling within his delegated authority.

The attached Forward Plan is a list of all such proposed decisions. It represents a snapshot of the decisions in the system as at 1 May 2008. This document will be updated on the first working day of each month. For more up-to-date information, please contact the Council’s Cabinet Office on 020 7361 3950, or see the version on the Council’s website at www.rbkc.gov.uk. This is updated daily. The Council also offers a weekly e-mail bulletin of current Key Decisions listed in an easy to digest format. Please contact the Cabinet Office if you would like to subscribe to this free service.

Classification of Key Decisions Criteria ♦♦♦ High impact/high public interest: A key decision that is likely to have a major impact on service users, residents or businesses and where there is prospect of significant public interest. This decision would be expected to feature planned consultation with the OSC and the public. ♦♦ High impact/low public interest: Such a key decision would meet all the above criteria on impact, but would not be expected to be of particularly public interest. This decision would be expected to feature planned consultation with the OSC and the public. ♦ Routine/low public interest: A key decision that is of a relatively routine nature where the OSC would not wish to get involved.
