Decision status: Recommendations Approved
Is Key decision?: No
Is subject to call in?: No
To review and update the approved Corporate
Director of Environment’s scheme of sub-delegation as shown
in the attached breakdown at Appendices 1 and 2.
The Officers’ Delegation Scheme and the
Constitution procedure rules set out various general and specific
executive and non-executive delegations to Chief Officers. The
Officers’ Delegation Scheme also permits sub-delegation to
other officers within their directorate by Chief Officers (except
where expressly excluded).
A scheme of sub-delegation from the Corporate Director of
Environment to Assistant Directors and other senior officers has
been in place from 01 April 2023 to sit alongside the Constitution.
The opportunity has been taken to review the scheme of
sub-delegation as a matter of good governance.
A clear scheme of delegation, kept under review, is essential for
the good governance of the authority and to enable transparent,
accountable and lawful decision-making.
There is no practical alternative. It would
not be practical to not make any sub-delegations to other
officers.
The sub-delegation scheme is required to be kept under periodic
review and updated as required to ensure it is consistent with
current arrangements and practice.
