The Portfolio Holder for Corporate Services introduced the draft Annual Delivery Plan for 2024-25 and explained that it supported delivery of the objectives set out in the Council’s business plan.
There were 14 prospective plan priorities across the four main business plan priorities: Healthy, resilient and engaged communities; Housing that meets your needs; Enterprising economy with strong and vibrant centres; and, Supporting environmental sustainability. The 15th priority related to Corporate objectives.
The Corporate Director – Resources gave an overview of the priorities and associated milestones that had been set against each business plan priority.
The Committee raised a question regarding the possibility of creating a metric to measure the delivery of affordable housing within the District in addition to quantifying the total number of houses being built. The Assistant Director Planning and Development advised that the information had been reported to Executive in December 2023 as part of the Annual Monitoring Report.
The Committee requested that more information be provided regarding the amount of affordable housing that had actually been delivered rather than the volume planned to be delivered and on the split between affordable rents and social rents on actual completions. It was agreed that this information would be provided after the meeting.
The Committee raised concerns regarding the potential revocation of the Air Quality Management Area (AQMA) in Kidlington and the removal of air quality monitoring tubes. The Health Protection Compliance and Business Support Manager advised that the tubes were still in place, but the data showed that air quality had improved in this area and the AQMA was no longer needed. A detailed annual report with more information would be submitted to the 4 March Executive meeting.
