Part 1: Key and Non-Key Decisions

A key decision is a decision by the Cabinet, or an individual Cabinet Member or officer, which is likely either to incur significant expenditure or make significant savings, or to have a significant impact on those living or working in two or more wards.

 

The South Cambridgeshire District Council Constitution defines a significant decision as being one to:

·       incur expenditure or savings in excess of £200,000; or

·       acquire or dispose of land or property with a value in excess of £1,000,000.

 

However, a decision to invite a tender or award a contract shall not be treated as a key decision where the purpose of the contract is to fulfil the intention of any policy or scheme included in the policy framework or budget or involves a continuation of an existing policy or service standard.

Statement of Case for Cambourne to Cambridge Busway New!

Decision maker:  Leader of Council

Decision:   11 April 2025

Lead officer:  Chenge Taruvinga

Decision status:  Recommendations Approved

Notice of proposed decision first published: 11/03/2025

This decision will be taken under urgency procedures.

Reason for urgency:
The timing of the submission to the Secretary of State by GCP has meant that together with the receipt of legal advice the Council was not able to bring the matter before Cabinet in early February for a decision. Securing responses from each of the Council’s expert teams has also impacted our ability to pull together the Statement, so that convening an extraordinary Cabinet meeting was also not possible.
