What does the Officer Decisions database show?
The Officer Decisions database shows both pre-notified decisions and approved decisions. The public officer report is published. Pre-notified decisions are shown on the database for five clear days before the proposed decision. The decision is shown as approved on the day the decision is taken. However, key decisions are then subject to a five clear day call-in period (see below).

Who do I contact if I have a question about a decision?
Please contact the person listed as the "report author" in the decision report. Report authors will respond to all enquiries and ensure views received are considered by the decision-maker before the decision is made.

What does "decision status" mean?
There are four types of decision status. They are:
1. For determination The proposed decision has been pre-notified. The expected decision date (the earliest date a decision will be taken) is shown after the publication date. Any queries or concerns should be addressed to the report author. These will be considered before a decision is taken.
2. Recommendations approved (in green) The decision has been approved and can be implemented.
3. Recommendations approved (subject to call-in) (in yellow) The key decision is approved but cannot be implemented until the call-in period of five clear days has been completed. A councillor can "call-in" a key decision and must state their reasons.
4. Called-in (in red) The decision has been called-in and cannot be enacted. The appropriate scrutiny committee must consider the matter. If the scrutiny committee agrees the call-in, the decision-maker must reconsider the decision. The decision-maker may confirm the original decision or make a fresh decision.
