Decision details

That the proposed amendments and clarifications to the register of authority of the Executive Director for Growth Planning and Housing, as set out in Appendix 1 of the report be agreed.

Confirmingthe proposed amendments to the scheme of delegation will allow

for the City Council’s Constitution to be updated to ensure consistency with

national legislation and the City Council’s current planning committee

structure. The proposed inclusion of specific delegated powers relating to the

 stopping up of the highway in connection with developments benefitting from

planning permission and the enforcement of planning and related legislation

will clarify that these powers are delegated to the Executive Director for

Growth Planning and Housing, for the avoidance of doubt.
