THE ROYAL BOROUGH OF KENSINGTON AND

CHELSEA

FORWARD PLAN OF KEY DECISIONS

JANUARY TO APRIL 2013

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 street works 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 2

January 2013. 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.

♦

Localising Council Tax BenefitRef: 03891/13/K/AThe Government intends to abolish the national Council Tax Benefit scheme and has asked Councils to replace it with their own local scheme.

The Cabinet will be asked to adopt a localised Council Tax Benefit scheme for 2013-14 which is identical other than in some minor administrative aspects to the current scheme. This means that claimants' award of Council Tax Support would be the same as their current entitlement to Council Tax Benefit.
