WEST DUNBARTONSHIRE COUNCIL Report by Chief Officer - Regulatory & Regeneration Committee: Infrastructure, Regeneration and Economic Development 2 November 2022 Subject: Regulatory & Regeneration Delivery Plan 2022/23 - Economic Development Elements 1 Purpose 1.1 The purpose of this report is to provide members with the Economic Development elements of the Regulatory & Regeneration Delivery Plan 2022/23. 2 Recommendations 2.1 It is recommended that Committee notes the contents of the Plan. 3 Background 3.1 In line with the Strategic Planning & Performance Framework, each Chief Officer develops an annual Delivery Plan which sets out actions to help deliver the Strategic Plan and address the performance challenges and service priorities identified in the planning process. The Plan also provides an overview of services and resources, including employees and budgets, sets out the performance indicators (PIs) for monitoring progress and considers the relevant risks. 3.2 Following the local government election in May 2022, a new five-year Strategic Plan was developed in consultation with stakeholders and submitted to Council for approval in October. This sets out the Council’s priorities, objectives and key PIs, providing clear direction for the development of the first set of annual delivery plans, of which the Regulatory & Regeneration Delivery Plan is one of eight. 3.3 The implementation of the Economic Development elements of the Plan will be monitored by the management team with interim progress reported to Infrastructure, Regeneration and Economic Development Committee in February 2023 and year-end progress in May 2023. 4 Main Issues 4.1 An extract from the Regulatory & Regeneration 2022/23 Delivery Plan is included at Appendix 1.
