198 Enforcement - Scheme of Delegation Report 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.
