The Cabinet of Melton Council was scheduled to consider several key strategic documents and agreements. These included feedback from the Scrutiny Committee on the Cyber Security and Inward Investment Strategies, as well as the Leicester and Leicestershire Statements of Common Ground. The meeting was also set to address a Building Control Delegation Agreement and the disposal of an asset.

Scrutiny Committee Feedback

The Cabinet was scheduled to receive feedback reports from the Scrutiny Committee concerning two important strategies.

Cyber Security Strategy Update

The Scrutiny Committee's update on the Cyber Security Strategy was to be presented. This report would likely outline progress and any recommendations regarding the council's approach to cybersecurity.

Inward Investment Strategy

The Scrutiny Committee's feedback on the Inward Investment Strategy was also on the agenda. This would provide insights into the committee's review of the council's plans to attract investment into the Melton Mowbray area.

Leicester and Leicestershire Statements of Common Ground

A significant item on the agenda was the presentation of the Leicester and Leicestershire Statements of Common Ground. These statements are designed to foster collaboration and agreement between local authorities in the region on various strategic matters. The agenda indicated that there were specific appendices related to housing distribution and strategic matters.

  • Appendix A - Leicester Leicestershire Statement of Common Ground relating to Housing Distribution1
  • Appendix B - Leicester Leicestershire Authorities Statement of Common Ground relating to Strategic2

The Cabinet was also to consider an accompanying Letter of Comfort as part of this item.

Building Control Delegation Agreement

The Cabinet was scheduled to review the Building Control Delegation Agreement. This agreement would outline the terms under which certain building control functions might be delegated.

Asset Disposal

The meeting was also scheduled to consider the disposal of an asset owned by the council. Further details regarding the specific asset were to be presented to the Cabinet.


  1. Statements of Common Ground are formal agreements between local authorities that set out how they will work together on planning and other strategic issues. This particular appendix focuses on how housing development will be distributed across the region. 

  2. This appendix relates to broader strategic cooperation between Leicestershire authorities, likely covering areas beyond housing, such as economic development or infrastructure.
