Welcome Elma Murray welcomed and introduced attendees. Minute of Previous Meeting and Action Note Laura Friel requested that Margaret Hogg be added as an attendee and that her apologies were noted. The minute was then agreed as accurate. The action note was updated: Elma updated on the success of the Youth Participatory Budgeting. Elaine Young has submitted an application for ASH Charter. 3

4 Iona Colvin is progressing more coordinated services between fire, ambulance and acute services. Mark McAteer will attend the next Strategic Planning Group and discussions are taking place around NA HSP becoming a pilot area. Iona will report back from this. A partner budget sharing session will be arranged (Laura/Morna). Recent NAc budget engagement events were discussed and it was agreed there would be benefit in extending this across partners. Elaine Young has written to John Burns on this issue. Audrey updated the group on community council elections which have been extremely successful with contested elections in many areas. It is appreciated that Community councils are not the only mechanism for engagement as some areas have very strong Community Associations. Elma outlined a proposal to amend the 2017 SMT meeting schedule. This was noted. 2. Presentation: Developing an External Funding Strategy Caitriona McAuley introduced the item and Elaine Troup gave a presentation on the external funding strategy. This has been developed for NAC, but needs to recognise the wider partnership. It is in the final stage of consultation. The presentation covered the aims, landscape (including Brexit), 4 themes (in alignment with the Scottish Government), and the action plan. A presentation will be delivered to the HSCP, the strategy and action plan will circulated and presented to Cabinet in March. Partners agreed that this type of resource would be extremely useful to help partners with expert knowledge and expertise, and to be able to access the right person who understands the partner to make applications on their behalf. Partners suggested how they may link in with this work. 3. Population Growth Moved to February 2017 meeting 4. NAC Response to Place Standard Morna Rae explained that she had sought information from North Ayrshire Council services to establish what services are doing to address the themes arising out of use of the Place Standard. An overview of the report was given. Elma proposed that this report is developed further. There are gaps in information from NAC Services to be added, and partner additions can be made. We then need to raise awareness with Locality Partnerships as to what is already happening. We should also agree at least one new action / initiative per Locality that we will do to tackle issues. 5. CP Outcomes Profile Demonstration Due to time constraints this was not considered. Elma and Morna will further discuss how this might best be used by the SMT and Board and an input will be provided to a future meeting. 6. Community Empowerment Act 4

5 Morna presented a report on the Community Empowerment Act, its requirements and how North Ayrshire CPP can meet these. It covered the principles of effective Community Planning and how we approach these. Proposals in relation to the statutory partners were agreed, i.e. continue with current SMT/Board membership arrangements and engage with other listed partners on a thematic level and through an annual event. The current facilitation role of the specified partners was also agreed to be appropriate. The report outlined current mechanisms for engaging with community bodies (e.g. Locality Partnerships, Community Engagement Reference Group). It was noted that a workshop on Community Asset Transfer is taking place and Audrey will feed back on this. The SMT agreed that the Local Outcomes Improvement Plan is developed as per the report, with sign off by June Board meeting. It was agreed that the Fair for All strategy would provide a 15 year vision with milestones at 5 and 10 years, the LOIP being a five year plan with milestones at 3 years and 1 year. The CPP structure to support the LOIP was discussed. It was noted that the Childrens Services Strategic Partnership will continue but may need to include more political input and oversight. The SMT discussed the guidance regulations for Locality Partnerships and noted that two of our Locality Partnership areas have populations in excess of the regulation s requirement. It was agreed that we can satisfy the legislation by more targeted work at a level below that of the Locality Partnership are, i.e. through use of the Place Standard to deal with more local issues and Fair for All targeted work at communities of interest. The SMT agreed that the CPP structure diagram should be updated and its presentation improved. It was suggested that the CPP Team speak to Eleanor McCallum or Margaret Hogg. Morna also agreed to update the A3 overview sheet to tie in with the new LOIP. 7. Any other business None 8. Date of next meeting Wednesday 11 January 2017 at 10am 9. Reports for information a.

18 LDP2 Main Issues preferred options Delivering Houses context NAC obliged to maintain an effective supply of housing land LDP must plan for future needs and demand HNDA indicates low demand for houses in future Land supply significantly outstrips need so why do we need more houses in LDP2? Our supply of housing land contains a large extent of non effective land (C50%) NAC annual housing completions less than 50% pre recession peak Wider economic conditions remain challenging for commercial investment; therefore housebuilder flight to prime locations to reduce risk Prime quality additional housing land may stimulate growth, investment, and maintain an effective supply 18

19 LDP2 Main Issues preferred options Delivering Houses preferred options Adding a supply of new highly effective housing land Corporate working group to manage impact of existing and future development on infrastructure and dispersal of future housing land Through working group, and, on completion of HNDA, review need for affordable housing policy and other developer contributions 19

20 The ask of you Discuss and consider the MIR Have we got the right options? Participate in delivery working group and other engagement (LDP champions) Bear in mind nature of MIRs consultation documents, option based engagement, NOT binding on Council, NOT a material consideration 20
