To enter into a Planning Performance Agreement (PPA) with
Habitat First Group Limited (the applicant). The PPA sets out commitments on behalf
of the Council and the applicant in relation to the processing of planning
applications relating to the ‘Silverlake’ development at Warmwell
Quarry, Moreton Road, Crossways. There is a fee associated with the PPA to
ensure that the Council can meet its obligations. The PPA does not fetter the
Council in any way from exercising its statutory duties as the Local Planning
Authority and does not prejudice the outcomes of the planning applications.
The decision to enter into the PPA is taken under delegated powers, as set out in paragraph 136 of the Officer Scheme of Delegation. Paragraph 136 provides delegated powers to “undertake all action in respect of administering / processing any application under any of the Town and Country Planning Legislation”. The Local Scheme of Nomination for Development Management and Enforcement includes delegation of these powers to the Service Manager for Development Management and Enforcement.
