1. The Constitution currently reflects the statutory and voluntary policy framework which was in force at the time when the original document was produced in 2001. The framework identifies those plans and strategies which are either prescribed by legislation or are identified as key policy statements and that require adoption by the County Council to form the basis for policy decisions by the executive. This is set out on Pages 16 and 17 of the Constitution.

2. In order to reflect changes in legislation and the County Council's Comprehensive Performance Assessment rating as `excellent', it is proposed that an amendment is made to Part 1, Chapter 4 Paragraph 4.01 c) in order to specify those plans and strategies that form the County Council's current policy framework as follows.
