Delegation of Powers to Officers

 

 

Meeting: 06/02/2019 - Cabinet (Item 77)

Delegation of Powers to Officers

The Council operates an extensive scheme of delegation of powers to officers in order ensure that the organisation can operate efficiently and effectively.  It is necessary to update the current scheme of delegations firstly to take account of the appointment of the new Chief Planning Officer.  In addition, an adjustment needs to be made to allow the officers involved with the Examination of the local plan to make amendments, in consultation with the Portfolio Holder, to respond within the process.

(a)       That the Council’s scheme of delegation of powers to officers, that are the responsibility of the Cabinet, be amended to the effect that the Chief Planning Officer be delegated the same powers, throughout, as the Executive Heads; and

 

(b)       That the following additional power be delegated:
