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.
