To consider the draft of the proposed new Corporate Plan and to approve it to form the basis of consultations.

RESOLVED:

That the draft of the new Corporate Plan be approved to form the basis of further consideration by the overview and scrutiny panels and the Industrial Relations Committee.

The Cabinet considered the draft Corporate Plan to cover the period 2016-2020, entitled “Our corporate plan”.  A succinct format had been adopted, using graphics to emphasise the key points and ensure the plan was clear and accessible.  The Plan emphasised the unique and special character of the Forest, including the practical constraints arising from the juxtaposition of internationally designated wildlife and landscape areas with significant conurbations in adjacent areas; and a relatively older resident population.

The Corporate Plan was a key strategy document that would be underpinned by a suitable and proportionate performance management framework that would set out how the Plan will be delivered and monitored.

The new Corporate Plan should be agreed before April 2016.

RESOLVED:

That the draft of the new Corporate Plan be approved to form the basis of further consideration by the overview and scrutiny panels and the Industrial Relations Committee.
