What it recommends
In the report's own words. A recommendation is a proposal: the meeting can agree, change or reject it.
- “Note the necessary amendments to Part 5 (Planning Protocol) and Part 8 (Standing Instructions to Authorised Officers) as set out in Appendix A.”
- “Note that the amendments are required to align the Constitution with the National Scheme of Delegation for Planning Functions and to ensure the Council's Constitution is compliant with the statutory framework taking effect from 31 October 2026.”
- “Authorise the Monitoring Officer to make any consequential, administrative, formatting, renumbering, cross-referencing and drafting amendments necessary to implement the National Scheme of Delegation and give effect to Council's decision, provided that such amendments do not materially alter the approved constitutional arrangements.”
- “Agree that the amendments shall take effect on 31 October 2026.”
- “Undertake a six-month review of the operation of the National Scheme of Delegation and associated planning processes, as recommended by the Working Arrangements Group.”
