REASONS FOR DECISION

programme can be delivered and necessary to approve the property

In most cases, resources have already been
allocated to the capital schemes as part of the budget setting
exercise but spending approval is required in order for the scheme
to proceed. Where, however, resources have not previously been
allocated, resource approval is requested in this report.
 
To facilitate financial management and control
of the Council's finances.
