Listed Building Consent Delegation pdf icon PDF 2 MB

Minutes:

The Development and Control Manager presented a report, the purpose of which, was to seek approval to the changes to the Planning Code of Practice (PCP) necessary for Council Officers to proceed with the determination of applications for listed building consent for Grade II buildings without the need for referral to Welsh Ministers.

 

He reminded Members, that at a meeting of Development Control Committee on 9 January 2023 Members were advised that notification had been received from Cadw that it was minded to grant Listed Building Consent Delegation to the Council subject to acceptance of a number of requirements.

 

The requirements were set out in the report to the Development Control Committee on the above date, a copy of which was attached at Appendix A to the cover report.

 

 The report to Development Control Committee on 9th January included a recommendation that the report be referred to Council for agreement to amend the Constitution as described in paragraph 4.4 of the report, along with any other necessary amendments.

 

On 17 January 2023 the Council received confirmation from Cadw of its intention to award delegation from 1 February 2023 in the form of a signed Direction, a copy of which was attached as Appendix B (“the Direction”) to this report.

 

A further report was presented to Council on 8 February 2023 and the necessary changes to the constitution were agreed. As part of that report Council were informed that any amendments required to the current scheme of officer delegation which has been adopted by the Development Control Committee as part of the PCP would be reported back to the Development Control Committee for  decision.

 

The existing Scheme of officer delegation is in the PCP (attached at Appendix C to this report) and included powers for Officers, where appropriate, to determine applications for Listed Building Consent subject to the requirement to notify Welsh Ministers in line with Section 13 of the Planning(Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990.

The PCP will require a change to allow Officers to determine applications for Listed Building Consent for Grade II buildings without the need for referral to Welsh Ministers, on any application for Listed Building Consent, if officers have received and adhered to the advice of the Senior Conservation and Design Officer, Moira Lucas.

 

The suggested amendment would be to Schedule 1 of the PCP, with a new heading being added to Schedule 1 as follows:- “Listed Building Consent Delegation”. Under that heading the paragraphs detailed in paragraph 3.3 of the report, should be inserted.

 

RESOLVED:                            That the Development Control Committee

                                                 approved the proposed changes outlined in paragraph 3.3 of the report to the Planning Code of Practice.
