Definition of a "Key Decision"

1. A "key decision" means an executive decision which is likely:

(a) to result in the local authority incurring expenditure which is, or the making of savings which are, significant having regard to the local authority’s budget for the service or function to which the decision relates, or

(b) to be significant in terms of its effects on communities living or working in an area comprising two or more wards or electoral divisions in the area of the local authority.

2. For the avoidance of doubt, the Council would regard any of the following as "significant" for the purposes of this Article:

• Any decision by the Cabinet in the course of developing proposals to the full Council to amend the policy framework.

• Any single item of in-budget expenditure in excess of £100,000.
