  • Planning Committee
    Planning Committee 2.00pm, Wednesday, 12 December 2018 Planning Schemes of Delegation Item number Report number Executive/routine Wards All Council Commitments Executive Summary The schemes of delegation on planning applications allow officers to make decisions in the interests of an effective and efficient service. However, safeguards are required to ensure that there is an appropriate level of scrutiny by the Development Management Sub-committee of applications which raise issues of significant public interest. Following an investigation of circumstances leading to a delegated decision to approve a planning application at a major sporting venue, procedures are being tightened to reduce risk and deliver quality assurance. While the planning decision in this case remains as granted, it is recognised that a process was not in place which would have escalated the application to more senior Planning Officers for a second opinion. Report Planning Schemes of Delegation 1. Recommendations 1.1 That the Committee agrees to the proposed changes to procedures specified in paragraphs 3.24 – 3.28 to reduce risk and deliver quality assurance. 1.2 In relation to the planning application for an additional rugby stadium at Murrayfield, that the Committee notes the apology to interested parties from the Executive Director of Place in relation to the lack of a process which would have escalated the application to more senior Planning Officers for a second opinion on whether to refer the application to the Development Management Sub-committee for determination. 2. Background 2.1 In the main, delegated powers in respect of planning fall within the Council’s overall scheme of delegation to officers set out in terms of the Local Government (Scotland) Act 1973.
