This decision will be taken under urgency procedures.
Reason for urgency:
The proposal to implement a discretionary business growth incentive scheme was due to be considered later in 2017 by the Council's Executive. However, given the important role this fund could play in retaining and attracting businesses within the District, the Executive is minded to consider the proposal sooner rather than later.
