and Crime Panels (Coronavirus) (Flexibility of Local Authority and
Police and Crime Panel Meetings) (England and Wales) Regulations
2020 (“the 2020 Regulations”), which allowed for
committee meetings to be held remotely, the County Council resolved
at its meeting on 5 May 2021 that, for the present time, in light
of the continuing Covid-19 pandemic circumstances, remote
live-broadcast committee meetings should continue, with any formal
decisions required being taken by the Chief Executive Officer under
his emergency decision making powers and after consultation with
other Officers and Members as appropriate and after taking into
account any views of the relevant Committee Members.
The Chief Executive Officer has taken all relevant information into
account in exercising his emergency delegated powers in this
matter, including considering the views of the Planning and
Regulatory Functions Sub-Committee held on 26 July 2021.
The reasons for the decision in this matter are as follows:
The application has met the criteria contained in the Commons Act
2006 and the Commons Registration (England) Regulations 2014.
