That the
Council agrees the minor (non-material) modifications, set out in Appendix A,
are made to the Loders Neighbourhood
Plan.
Scheme of delegation
Under the Officer Scheme of Delegation (April 2019), the
Executive Director of Place
has the power (138) “To undertake all action in relation to any function of the
Council concerning neighbourhood planning” including
the power relating to the making and approval of any neighbourhood
development plan, neighbourhood development order
and/or community right to build order whether under any Town and Country
Planning Legislation or otherwise.
This power
does not apply to the final determination as to whether to formally ‘make’
(adopt) a neighbourhood development plan. However,
given this decision relates to agreeing minor (non-material) modifications to a
plan that has already been formally ‘made’ (adopted) this limitation in the
Officer Scheme of Delegation is not applicable.
The Local Scheme of Nomination sets out which functions have
been nominated by the Executive Director of Place and any conditions or
limitations. This includes the power, as set out above, ‘To undertake all
action in relation to any function of the Council concerning neighbourhood
planning’ including the power relating to the approval of any neighbourhood
development plan under any Town and Country Planning Legislation or otherwise.
The only condition/limitation is that the relevant Portfolio Holder (Cllr Bartlett,
Portfolio Holder for Planning and Emergency Planning) is consulted.
