To consider an addition to the functions of the Strategic Planning Board to enable the Board to consider applications for Certificates of Appropriate Alternative Development under Section 17 of the Land Compensation Act 1961.

The Committee considered an addition to the functions of the Strategic Planning Board to enable the Board to consider applications for certificates of appropriate alternative development under Section 17 of the Land Compensation Act 1961.

The Local Planning Authority was required to respond to an application for a certificate of appropriate alternative development by setting out what planning permission would have been granted if the land had not been compulsorily acquired. In the absence of a specific delegation to a committee, such applications would have to be dealt with by full Council. The Strategic Planning Board was considered to be the appropriate body to deal with such applications.

RESOLVED

That Council be recommended to approve that the function of dealing with applications for Certificates of Appropriate Alternative Development under Section 17 of the Land Compensation Act 1961 be added to the functions delegated to the Strategic Planning Board, and the Board’s terms of reference within the Constitution be amended accordingly.
