Decided: Cabinet unanimously resolved that officers prepare cost estimates for a second grass cut each year. This will let all members judge whether it is affordable, so full Council can decide as part of the forthcoming budget setting process.
Decided: The Committee approved the application for eight houses, subject to amending the Section 106 agreement so that two affordable homes are secured on the site, and subject to planning conditions. The conditions include a five-year time limit, a limit to permanent homes only (Class C3), biodiversity enhancement measures, a landscaping plan, and a requirement that the development has a Welsh name. The Committee also asked the Assistant Head of Department to contact Bangor City Council again, to encourage it to respond to planning applications.
Decided: Cabinet accepted the report and agreed the Forward Work Programme (the list of items planned for a future meeting) for the November Cabinet meeting.
Decided: Cabinet accepted the report and approved the budget virement (a move of money between budget headings) set out in it, in line with the Council's Constitution. It noted the use of specific reserves (money set aside for particular purposes), including to support the in-year position and fund the overall overspend.
Decided: Cabinet accepted the report. It agreed that the information be used to challenge the provisional outturn position, significant variances, proposed slippage (spending moved to a later year) and whether financial controls are adequate to safeguard Council resources.
