Hub Committee Forward Plan

About the Forward Plan

This is the provisional forward plan for at least four months starting April 2024.  It provides an indicative date for matters to be considered by the Hub Committee.   Where possible, the Hub Committee will keep to the dates shown in the plan.  However, it may be necessary for some items to be rescheduled and other items added.

The forward plan is published to publicise consultation dates and enable dialogue between the Hub Committee and all Councillors, the public, and other stakeholders. It will also assist the Council’s Overview and Scrutiny Committee in planning their contribution to policy development and holding the Hub Committee to account. 

The Plan is published on the Council’s website (www.westdevon.gov.uk)
