Background Information: The Council has a commitment to devolving decision making to area committees. There are some local, area specific planning policy documents such as planning and development briefs that could more sensibly be dealt with by the Executive Councillor and the relevant area committee rather than by the Development Plan Scrutiny Sub-Committee. This report seeks to agree criteria to devolve such decisions.
