NORTH NORFOLK DISTRICT COUNCIL CORPORATE PLANNING FRAMEWORK
•
Corporate Plan 2011 – 2015
•
Financial Plan update 2011/12 - 2014/15, strategic context and organisational
workstreams
(Cabinet Agenda 03 October 2011– p.13)
(Appendix A , Cabinet Agenda – p17, Appendix B – p25, Appendix C – p43)
Summary:
The corporate plan is the overarching component of the
Council’s policy framework and this new version will provide
strategic direction through to 2015. It is presented as a high
level document outlining the priorities for the authority and the
key actions which the organisation will take to achieve those
priorities. It provides the context for the budget and has been
prepared alongside the Council’s anticipated resourcing
framework. Implications for the allocation of financial and other
resources, risk, sustainability, and equalities will stem primarily
from the implementation of actions and delivery of services
designed to secure the stated priority outcomes.
With effect from April 2012, the corporate plan will be
supported by an annual action plan, setting out in greater
detail the priority activities planned for the forthcoming year, a
suite of service business plans detailing specific service level
activity across the same period and a revised performance
monitoring and reporting framework.
Conclusions:
Recommendations
The corporate plan sits at the heart of the Council’s policy
framework. It sets out the corporate priorities, the outcomes
by which success can be measured and the actions designed
to deliver those outcomes.
Achieving the plan will be
challenging in the current economic climate. However, it will
provide the Council with clear direction and guidance in work
planning and resource allocation, and in service delivery.
