Examine rise in cuts planned (10)
I believe the answer is:
scrutinise
'examine' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'rise in cuts planned' is the wordplay.
'planned' indicates an anagram.
'rise'+'in'+'cuts'='riseincuts'
'riseincuts' with letters rearranged gives 'SCRUTINISE'.
(Other definitions for scrutinise that I've seen before include "Carefully examine" , "Examine closely - runs cities (anag)" .)
