Updates to Scheme of Delegation in relation to changes to statutory powers and minor material amendments

The Court of Common Council has delegated to your Planning and Transportation Committee responsibility for the City’s local planning authority functions. To facilitate the carrying out and administration of these functions, some of these functions have been further delegated to Chief Officers, as set out in the Scheme of Delegations approved by Court of Common Council on 1 May 2014 and updated on 1 December 2014. Recent modifications to the conservation area regime and the introduction of Lead Local Flood Authority functions and Sustainable Urban Drainage responsibilities have given rise to further delegation issues.

Your Committee therefore seeks approval to amend the Scheme of Delegation in respect of the Lead Local Flood Authority functions. A printed and circulated report is submitted thereon and we recommend the amendments to the Scheme of Delegation as set out.
