• p2List of upcoming anticipated decisions Introduction This document should be read in conjunction with the Forward Plan, which sets out the list of future decisions scheduled to be taken by the Cabinet or Lead Members and key decisions to be taken by officers (under delegated authority). Below is an indicative list of other anticipated upcoming decisions, consultations and significant procurements relevant to the Place Scrutiny Committee’s remit. They are set out by quarter, based on the currently expected timing. The relevant department, type of decision or activity, and the anticipated decision maker where this is known are also included. This is intended to provide the Committee with early sight of longer term issues and support opportunities for pre-decision scrutiny. As these items are in development at this stage, they are subject to change. Where it is confirmed that there are specific decisions to be made by Members or key decisions by officers, and their timing, these will be added to the Forward Plan in line with the requirements set out in the Constitution.
