Decision details

Consideration was given to a report which sought the approval of the Council to several changes to the Scheme of Delegation insofar as it affected Development Control, Planning Enforcement and arrangements for the 'call-in' of applications to be considered with by the Planning Committee.  However, it was explained that the Committee would only be able to comment on the amendments because the final decision in respect of the changes rested with the Council.

The Committee was informed that the amendments would align the Council's Scheme of Delegation with that of Redditch Borough Council and, thereby, assist in the process of shared services.

RESOLVED that it be recommended to Council that the amendments to the Scheme of Delegation, as set out in Appendices 1, 2 and 3 of the report, be approved.

(NOTE: During consideration of this item, Councillor E. J. Murray left the meeting before this decision was reached.)
