This document contains a review of the allocations for the Convener, Deputy Convener, and Planning Convener roles within the Cairngorms National Park Authority. It highlights that the current allocations may not accurately reflect the time commitment required for these positions, especially considering increased workloads and stakeholder engagement. The document suggests increasing the Convener's allocation to 2.5 days a week, the Deputy Convener's to two extra days a month, and reducing the Planning Convener's to eight additional days a year to align with the reduced number of Planning Committees. The committee is asked to consider requesting these changes from the Scottish Government as part of the annual Board Fees submission, with proposed implementation dates for each role in August, September and November 2023, and stating changes will not affect current post holders.
