Decisions — Somerset
- Recent Decisions that have been made or are past their expected date. Some may show 'Awaiting outcome' if the result hasn't been published yet.
- Upcoming Decisions that haven't been made yet. These are published in advance by the council, often as part of a forward plan. Key decisions must be published at least 28 days before they are taken.
- In call-in window Decisions that have been made but can still be 'called in' — referred back for scrutiny by councillors. Most executive decisions have a call-in period (usually 5 working days) during which they cannot be implemented.
