198 Enforcement - Scheme of Delegation Report pdf icon PDF 48 KB

Minutes:

Cambridge City Council Constitution sets out the delegations to the Director of Environment in respect of planning and development control.

 

Section A4 of the Constitution confers delegated authority to the Head of Legal Services to serve planning enforcement notices to remedy breaches of planning control following the refusal of retrospective planning permission.

 

The current Constitution incorrectly refers to the service of notices under Section 171 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990, the section of the act that refers to the service of notices is 172.

 

Members were recommended to authorise a change in the wording of section A4 of the Constitution so that it reads:

 

To serve enforcement notices under S172 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 to remedy a breach of planning control following the refusal of retrospective planning permission (subject to prior consultation with the Head of Legal Services).

 

The Committee:

 

Unanimously resolved to accept the officer recommendation to authorise a change in the wording of section A4.
