3. Revenue 3.1. The Revenue Budget Monitoring report at Appendix 1 identifies a projected overspend of £0.050 million (7.2% of total budget) for all services reporting to this Policy Board. Detailed division service reports can also be found here, together with an explanation of any significant projected variances. 3.2. The projected outturn is based on information currently available, and assumptions made by service budget holders. Any changes to these projections will be detailed in future reports to the Board. 3.3. The main reasons for the projected outturn position are indicated below the tables showing both the subjective analysis (what the budget is spent on) and the objective analysis (which division is spending the budget). 3.4. The projected overspend of £0.050 million includes an estimated under- recovery in planning fees of £0.072 million. This represents c. 12% of targeted income and reflects a reasonable estimate of income in the current economic and financial climate. 4. Revenue Budget Adjustments 4.1. Members are requested to note from Appendix 1 that budget adjustments totalling £0.031 million have been processed since the Budget was approved on 3rd March 2022. • £0.031m – Planning Services service budget realignment __________________________________________________________________ Implications of this report 1.
