(1) That following the Committee’s agreement, the Monitoring Officer prepare a report to Council seeking approval to amend the Scheme of Delegation in the Council’s Constitution to the following:
i. Applications in the major category which are recommended for approval and are the subject of any objections; ii. Applications recommended for approval which are departures from the Development Plan; iii. Applications made by the City Council or major applications made by the County Council; iv. Applications by Members or officers of the Council and other parties where considerations of probity indicate that a Committee decision is required; v. Any applications which the Chief Officer (Regeneration and Planning) considers should be determined by the Committee; or, vi. Any application which a Member of the Council asks to be referred to the Committee. This request must be made to the Case Officer within 21 days of the application appearing on the Weekly List of Applications; it must be submitted on the requisite form (which can be emailed); and the request cannot be made on a resubmitted application (an application submitted within 12 months of a refusal or withdrawal of an application with the same or similar description, unless the initial application was referred to Committee within its 21 day period before it was withdrawn).
NB: In respect of (vi) - the Ward Councillor submitting the request, where that Councillor is also a Member of the Planning and Highways Regulatory Committee, that Member would be expected to register to speak at the Planning and Highways Regulatory Committee Meeting. In those circumstances, the Ward Councillor could either choose to send a Substitute Member to take their place on the Committee for the duration of the Committee Meeting; or they could alternatively choose to register to speak as a Ward Councillor on that single item, in the knowledge that (as a speaker) they couldn’t participate in debate or voting on that particular item. The Ward Councillor would however, be permitted to return to the Committee benches to be able to participate in debate and vote on other items on the committee agenda.
