Scheme of Delegation in the Council’s constitution, which grants delegated authority to

undertake all action in order to regulate any actual, perceived or potential breach of any

of the Town and Country Planning Legislation including:

(f) to determine whether or not to take and/or to cease action whether because in

his/her opinion the breach is trivial, there is insufficient demonstrable harm and/or, it

is not expedient to take / continue to take action

This authority has been delegated to me through the Local Scheme of Nomination for

the Executive Director for Place.
