The Committee had before it the business planner as prepared by the Interim Chief Officer – Governance.

Members expressed concern over the delayed reports on the planner and asked a number of questions.

The Committee received a verbal update from officers in respect of item 4 (Den Burn Restoration Project), who advised that unfortunately they had only recently been advised that the funding bid had been unsuccessful and therefore there was no report on the agenda for this cycle.  A report would be presented to a future meeting of the Committee.

The Committee resolved:-

(i)       to note that the Convener, Vice Convener and the Chief Officer – Strategic Place Planning would liaise outwith the meeting to review the reports on the planner to ensure that realistic dates were given for when reports could be expected back;

(ii)       to note the verbal update provided at the meeting in respect of item 4 (Den Burn Restoration Project) and that officers would report back to a future meeting of the Committee once discussions had been held with partners in respect of the funding position; and

(iii)      to otherwise note the planner.
