Outcome:

Is Key Decision?: No

Is Callable In?: Yes

Purpose:

Content: It was RESOLVED that:   a)              the comprehensive work undertaken by the EHN Board of Directors to develop a robust, detailed, and compliant Business Plan was acknowledged.   b)              The East Hampshire Norse (EHN) Business Plan for 2025/26 Update as set out in Appendix A, was approved.     Reasons for the Decision   to provide the Sub Committee with an officer assessment of the final and complete draft of the East Hampshire Norse (EHN) Business Plan for 2025/26 (Appendix A), following a rigorous development process. The document is now a robust strategic document that is fully compliant with the EHN Shareholders' Agreement and Articles of Association.   Following the Shareholders Sub Committee's feedback on previous drafts, the EHN Board of Directors completed a final revision of the 2025/26 Business Plan. This latest version successfully incorporates all the detailed additions requested by officers to provide the necessary level of assurance.     Alternative Options Considered   The initial draft submitted by the EHN Board lacked a strategic narrative and, most critically, failed to address the fundamental governance requirements of our partnership.   The final version of the plan is now substantively complete. There were key improvements that provide the necessary assurance.
