· 18 May - Rights of Way Policy to be included.
· 19 July - Possible Rights of Way service review and Planning annual performance report to be added.
· The Facilitator to liaise with officers to establish whether the May and July meeting dates needed to be rescheduled to enable pre-scrutiny of policy decisions before Cabinet. Members to be notified of any changes to the dates.
· An update on the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty to be scheduled for a future meeting.
Councillor Chris Dolphin remarked on recent changes made to other committee meeting dates. The Facilitator advised that Overview & Scrutiny meeting dates had been scheduled in advance of Cabinet dates in the committee diary for 2016/17 to enable pre-scrutiny. She explained that changes to meetings in the current diary were due to a number of reasons and would look into this if Members wished. Following further discussion, she agreed to feedback the concerns to officers.
