anticipated planning application. 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 any planning decisions.
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 including the power to … (n) enter into
planning performance agreements”. The Local Scheme of Nomination for Planning
Services – Executive Director of Place includes delegation of these powers to
