2. Action Points arising: i. Dir­ect­or of Cor­por­ate Ser­vices to tab­u­late actions and put them at the end of the Minutes, for the next meeting.

Her­it­age Hori­zons Pro­gramme Update (Paper 1)

1. Dav­id Clyne, Head of Her­it­age Hori­zons Pro­gramme Man­ager intro­duced the paper which updated the Com­mit­tee on the Her­it­age Hori­zons: Cairngorms 2030 Pro­gramme and the planned devel­op­ment work to end June 2022.

2. The Per­form­ance Com­mit­tee dis­cussed the paper and made the fol­low­ing com­ments and obser­va­tions: a) With ref­er­ence to terms of con­tracts not awar­ded or those taken back to be reformat­ted — Can con­tracts con­tin­ue on from anti­cip­ated close date so they get the full time required for pro­ject devel­op­ment? Head of Her­it­age Hori­zons Pro­gramme Man­ager advised all required inform­a­tion to be in place by end March 2023. A slight delay would be accept­able but if new inform­a­tion were to

come in May or June, it would be too late. Dis­cussed that if this is likely to be the case the scope should be revis­ited to enable some of the work into the deliv­ery phase. Explained that as account­able body there will be a cut off point for the eli­gib­il­ity of any claims for fin­ance recov­ery to come back from Nation­al Lot­tery HF to have time for pro­cure­ment and oth­er work. For any over­lap the CNPA will have to make its own budget pro­vi­sion for any­thing after cut-off point in the next fin­an­cial year. Dir­ect­or of Cor­por­ate Ser­vices & Head of Her­it­age Hori­zons Pro­gramme Man­ager added they were think­ing about how the inter­im phase before the deliv­ery phase would operate.

b)  Suggestion made that it would be useful if the report was set out detail in line with reference to the recommendations and objectives. The committee agreed to discuss reporting requirements for all future papers at end of session.
c)  Anne Rae Macdonald, who sits on an agricultural group working with Scottish Government noted the projects regarding carbon audits and management plans and volunteered to discuss these with Head of Heritage Horizons Programme Manager after the meeting.
d)  Discussed reason for no bids for the Consultancy side of deer work. Head of Heritage Horizons Programme Manager felt the contract might have been too large and the market saturated. The CNPA team is now talking with the16 organisations that submitted an expression of interest. One organisation has agreed to submit a bid.
e)  Discussed budget allocation for deer and noted thatone DMG involved had secured enough funds to manage their project.
f)  Concern about the time the HH project takes and how confident the officers are of meeting time deadline as there would be a huge amount to be done. Head of Heritage Horizons Programme Manager explained the team are confident and aware of the challenge. Rationalisation important and using the relevant tools to assist. Combining the large packages into subgroups will help. Aim to avoid confusion and streamline engagement plans to help prevent overlap. Director of Corporate Services noted the constant liaison with National Lottery Heritage Fund to identify pinch points and risks of change from development to delivery phase so manage expectations at the delivery point. Important to get approval up front at an early stage.
g)  Discussion relating how the Performance Committee projects ally with other work of the park and the NPPP. Keep in mind the normal work of the Park and how the projects particularly Heritage Horizons relates to this.
h)  With reference to Para 19, concern about staffing capacity coping with work. Head of Heritage Horizons Programme Manager explained HH projects are part of NPPP, integrated into individual work plans when planning for the year.

1. The Chair thanked the Head of Her­it­age Hori­zons Pro­gramme for com­pre­hens­ive report.

2. The Per­form­ance Com­mit­tee reviewed the deliv­ery updates presen­ted and con­sidered: a) wheth­er the pro­grammes of activ­ity were mak­ing the expec­ted con­tri­bu­tion to the Cairngorms NPA’s agreed stra­tegic out­comes; b) wheth­er the deliv­ery updates sug­ges­ted any stra­tegic­ally sig­ni­fic­ant impacts on the Cairngorms NPA’s agreed per­form­ance objectives;

c) wheth­er any mater­i­al impacts on the Cairngorms NPA’s stra­tegic risk man­age­ment and mit­ig­a­tion meas­ures arose from assess­ment of pro­gramme delivery.

1. Action Point Arising: i. Head of Her­it­age Hori­zons Pro­gramme to look at clear­er format­ting for future reports.

Cairngorms Peat­land Action Pro­gramme Deliv­ery (Paper 2)

1. Andy Ford, Dir­ect­or of Nature & Cli­mate Change intro­duced the paper which presents the latest deliv­ery update for the Cairngorms Peat­land ACTION Pro­gramme. Andy thanked Steven Corcor­an, Peat­land Action Pro­gramme Man­ager who would be retir­ing today for his work get­ting the Peat­land Action Pro­gramme in place and his work with the Park Author­ity since 2005.

2. The Per­form­ance Com­mit­tee dis­cussed the paper and made the fol­low­ing com­ments and obser­va­tions: a) Dis­cus­sion about com­plex res­tor­a­tion work bey­ond drain block­ing. Dir­ect­or of Nature and Cli­mate Change explained the pos­it­ive trend in con­tract­or capa­city build­ing with recent evid­ence of good responses in the pro­cure­ment mar­ket sup­por­ted by multi-year con­tracts which would widen the mar­ket and the Uni­ver­sity of High­lands & Islands train­ing pro­gramme. Now more con­fid­ence in the mar­ket with mul­ti­year fund­ing; the car­bon code; private sec­tor build­ing skills & exper­i­ences. Devel­op­ment and diver­si­fic­a­tion in the mar­ket. Chair pleased to see guar­an­teed stream of work over the years. b) Dis­cus­sion about impacts of drain block­ing. Dir­ect­or of Nature & Cli­mate Change explained drain block­ing was needed to restore/​re-wet peat. Peat­land res­tor­a­tion should be viewed in the round. Sequest­ra­tion and regis­tra­tion to the Peat­land Code hap­pens primar­ily in the act­ively degrad­ing peat. c) Cla­ri­fic­a­tion sought has the increase in oper­a­tion­al cost of fuel been taken account of in the budget? Dir­ect­or of Nature & Cli­mate Change advised that the cap­it­al budget could accom­mod­ate this. d) Would an under­spend be relo­cated to oth­er parts of the coun­try this year. Dir­ect­or of Nature & Cli­mate Change explained it was in the early stages of pre­dic­tion and there will be dis­cus­sions about re-alloc­a­tion across Scot­land. e) Cla­ri­fic­a­tion sought of the mean­ing of a full-ser­vice in approach, men­tioned in Sec­tion 14 of the report and would this leave the CNPA vul­ner­able from an Audit per­spect­ive. Dir­ect­or of Nature & Cli­mate Change explained that Full Ser­vice approach means from the start of the applic­a­tion to the sign off. At the moment we are grant giv­ing body and also provide ser­vice to the estates, he went on to explain we design the res­tor­a­tions scheme and provide the ​‘design and build’ ser­vice to the land man­agers and check work has been com­pleted to stand­ard require for Peat­land Action. Includes agree­ments with con­tract­ors. Dir­ect­or of Cor­por­ate Ser­vices poin­ted out it was a sim­il­ar mod­el to the LEAD­ER pro­grams. Single team with clear sep­ar­a­tion of respons­ib­il­it­ies with­in the team with audit veri­fic­a­tion. f) Dis­cus­sion about ​‘design and build’ pack­age and wheth­er it needs to trans­fer to private sec­tor. Dir­ect­or of Nature & Cli­mate Change explained more private

g) Role of the CNPA ref. sec­tion 9 and addi­tion­al risks for example if pro­ject fails and fin­an­cial risk. Does this need to trans­fer to private ser­vice – Landown­ers and con­tract­ors. Dir­ect­or of Nature and Cli­mate Change explained that unlike Forestry deliv­er­ables are these imme­di­ately evid­ent and not in 40 or so years as is the case with Forestry. h) What about areas with high graz­ing pres­sure where things could still fail? Dir­ect­or of Nature and Cli­mate Change explained they had con­sidered in the choice of which areas of peat­land res­tor­a­tion to fund. Her­it­age Hori­zons pro­ject is high­light­ing peat­land res­tor­a­tion in high impact areas. Liab­il­it­ies are not fin­an­cial ones for the estate; the liab­il­it­ies are with the risk of pub­lic money for some­thing that fails. Dir­ect­or of Cor­por­ate Ser­vices fur­ther explained that the stand­ard con­di­tions of grant include a 10-year liab­il­ity require­ment on estates. Con­di­tion­al­ity requires that if the landown­ers don’t main­tain the restored peat­land as expec­ted there is the poten­tial of grant claw-back of up to 100%. i) Dir­ect­or of Nature and Cli­mate Change spoke about the Peat­land Code which was ongo­ing and that they were cur­rently work­ing to explain to land man­agers that the CNPA does not provide a Peat­land Code ser­vice but the CNPA have mod­i­fied pro­ced­ures so that Res­tor­a­tion Plans will be com­pat­ible with the Peat­land Code. There­fore, there is a fin­an­cial incent­ive to landown­ers to fol­low the Peat­land Code. j) Con­cern expressed about the capa­city of staff team and the Audit. Dir­ect­or of Nature and Cli­mate Change is expect­ing recruit­ment to start next week, he provided reas­sur­ance that they have the budget to sup­port increased staff. Re- filling the Peat­land ACTION Pro­gramme Man­ager post quickly. k) Regard­ing the audit, as the Peat­land action pro­gramme has scaled up from 100s ha to 1000s ha – the audit has picked that up and the increase and devel­op­ing work. A spe­cif­ic role of Pro­gramme Devel­op­ment would address the issue.

1. The Chair asked to record in the minutes the Committee’s thanks to Steven Corcor­an for get­ting this import­ant pro­gramme up and running.

2. The Per­form­ance Com­mit­tee noted the deliv­ery update and con­sidered: a) wheth­er the pro­grammes of activ­ity were mak­ing the expec­ted con­tri­bu­tion to the Cairngorms NPA’s agreed stra­tegic out­comes; b) wheth­er the deliv­ery updates sug­ges­ted any stra­tegic­ally sig­ni­fic­ant impacts on the Cairngorms NPA’s agreed per­form­ance object­ives; c) wheth­er any mater­i­al impacts on the Cairngorms NPA’s stra­tegic risk man­age­ment and mit­ig­a­tion meas­ures arose from assess­ment of pro­gramme delivery.

3. Action Points arising: a) Trans­fer of the ​‘Design & Build’ Ser­vice into the private sec­tor over time should be reviewed regularly.

Cairngorms LEAD­ER and Cairngorms Trust Deliv­ery (Paper 3)

1. Dav­id Camer­on, Dir­ect­or of Cor­por­ate Ser­vices, intro­duced the paper which presents the latest deliv­ery updates on the Cairngorms LEAD­ER Pro­gramme and vol­un­tary and char­it­able giv­ing activ­it­ies as man­aged by the Cairngorms LEAD­ER Loc­al Action Group Trust (Cairngorms Trust).

2. The Per­form­ance Com­mit­tee noted the deliv­ery updates.

3. The Chair con­cluded that every­one was happy with the report and thanked the Dir­ect­or of Cor­por­ate Services.

4. The Per­form­ance Com­mit­tee reviewed the deliv­ery updates presen­ted in the paper and con­sidered: a) wheth­er the pro­grammes of activ­ity were mak­ing the expec­ted con­tri­bu­tion to the Cairngorms NPA’s agreed stra­tegic out­comes; b) wheth­er the deliv­ery updates sug­ges­ted any stra­tegic­ally sig­ni­fic­ant impacts on the Cairngorms NPA’s agreed per­form­ance object­ives; c) wheth­er any mater­i­al impacts on the Cairngorms NPA’s stra­tegic risk man­age­ment and mit­ig­a­tion meas­ures arose from assess­ment of pro­gramme delivery.

5. Action Points Arising: None

Cairngorms Caper­cail­lie Pro­ject (Paper 4)

1. Andy Ford, Dir­ect­or of Nature & Cli­mate Change intro­duced the paper which presents the latest deliv­ery updates on the Cairngorms Caper­cal­lie project.

2. The Per­form­ance Com­mit­tee dis­cussed the paper and made the fol­low­ing com­ments and obser­va­tions: a) Grant fund­ing for wood­land man­age­ment avail­able to all land man­agers was noted and what is being done to get the mes­sage out and levels of interest was dis­cussed. Dir­ect­or of Nature & Cli­mate Change explained pro­mo­tion was via a num­ber of sources: Cairngorms Uplands Advis­ory Group; Wood­land Agents: Scot­tish Caper­cail­lie Group; one to one con­tact with man­agers of forests with Caper­cail­lie. Also, high pro­file mark­ing and remov­al of fences. b) 9a & 9b. Car­rbridge issue dis­cussed with the dis­cus­sion about why the plan had not moved for­ward, and con­cern it could be a stra­tegic risk. Dir­ect­or of Nature & Cli­mate Change expressed the chal­lenge of the situ­ation. At present the group have received advice from a num­ber of places regard­ing the pri­or­it­ies in the Car­rbridge Plan and fit with the project’s approved pur­poses, scope and remit. If a plan can­not be agreed there is a sig­ni­fic­ant risk with pub­lic and

c) The lay­out of the report dis­cussed par­tic­u­larly Points 2a & 2b and why should the extern­al work have such an impact as the pro­ject has its own staff com­ple­ment. Dir­ect­or of Nature & Cli­mate Change explained that he was identi­fy­ing risks laid out in Stra­tegic Risk register and link­ing his report to these. He explained that under Point 7, there was a risk but it is not actu­ally impact­ing on the pro­ject as there is a full com­ple­ment of staff. Dir­ect­or of Cor­por­ate Ser­vices enlarged on this and risk mit­ig­a­tion, explain­ing what the risk is and then wheth­er it is affect­ing the pro­ject. Tem­plates for the reports to be dis­cussed under AOCB at the end of the meeting.

1. The Per­form­ance Com­mit­tee reviewed deliv­ery updates and con­sidered: a) pro­gress towards the project’s agreed pur­poses; b) any stra­tegic­ally sig­ni­fic­ant impacts on deliv­ery of the CNPA’s Cor­por­ate Plan and Nation­al Park Part­ner­ship Plan; c) any mater­i­al impacts on the CNPA’s stra­tegic risk management.

2. Action Point Arising: i. CNPA to provide clear instruc­tion to the Car­rbridge group con­cern­ing final dead­lines for a revised plan and budget, agreed by the pro­ject board and expect­a­tions of fund real­loc­a­tion should dead­lines not be met.

AOCB

1. Report & Tem­plates for Future Meet­ings a) Per­form­ance dis­cussed; it should be sep­ar­ated from risk. How suc­cess­ful per­form­ance would be meas­ured? Dir­ect­or of Cor­por­ate Ser­vices noted the points about the over­lap of each com­mit­tee and explained that the Per­form­ance Committee’s respons­ib­il­ity was to look at spe­cif­ic detail of the oper­a­tion and deliv­ery of stra­tegic­ally sig­ni­fic­ant pro­jects and pro­grammes. The Per­form­ance Com­mit­tee looks at the pro­grammes, pro­ject papers to ensure they are deliv­er­ing what they are expec­ted to do and object­ives of the NPPP and con­trib­ute to cor­por­ate object­ives. Per­form­ance Dash­boards are to show where spe­cif­ic deliv­ery object­ives are and are they being met. b) When a new risk iden­ti­fied it needs to be con­sidered and will be referred to Audit and Risk Com­mit­tee, put on the Stra­tegic Risk Register and/​or to the Board. c) Com­ment was made that the desire in set­ting up the Per­form­ance Com­mit­tee was to have close mon­it­or­ing of some large-scale pro­jects. To provide assur­ance of reg­u­lar mon­it­or­ing and to refer on to Audit and Risk Com­mit­tee, if neces­sary, as this had not exis­ted in the past. d) Com­ment was made on the clear simple style of the Cairngorms Caper­cail­lie Report and Per­form­ance Dash­board and identi­fy­ing the rel­ev­ant stra­tegic object­ives and risks the format of which could be rep­lic­ated across oth­er reports.

2. Staff­ing, Per­form­ance and Risk

a) Dis­cussed con­cern in today’s reports about staff­ing and pres­sures on staff which mount­ing and its effect on per­form­ance. CNPA might be vul­ner­able if any­thing else were to occur. It was dis­cussed that staff were aware of chal­lenges and reas­sure provided that staff would be able to deliv­er. b) Dir­ect­or of Cor­por­ate Ser­vices cla­ri­fied that there had been a step change in the level of activ­ity in ²⁰²²⁄₂₃. In terms of over­all CNPA risk man­age­ment we are a small but fast-mov­ing organ­isa­tion. The Man­age­ment need to identi­fy the key pro­grams of work and recog­nise pri­or­it­ies for staff work plans relat­ing to Core Fund­ing deliv­ery. Cor­por­ate Sys­tems will also have to be developed. Noted there are poten­tial strains on work capa­city and the CNPA do not have sur­plus capa­city so have to be care­ful of addi­tion­al demand lead items. There was con­fid­ence on deliv­ery but have to make sure of pri­or­it­ies. c) Chair will con­tact Chairs of Resources Com­mit­tee, Audit & Risk Com­mit­tee & Gov­ernance Com­mit­tee to pass on details of this dis­cus­sion, par­tic­u­larly the over­lap of dif­fer­ent com­mit­tee remits and Stra­tegic Risks.

1. Action Points Arising: i) Format of Cairngorms Caper­cail­lie Report to be rep­lic­ated in all reports ii) Chair of Per­form­ance Com­mit­tee to pass details of this dis­cus­sion on to Chairs of Resources, Audit & Risk and Gov­ernance Committees

2. The Com­mit­tee thanked all the teams for their input today.
