Decision:

This report reviews the current arrangements for developing the Council's policy framework and seeks to clarify the authority to serve and confirm Article 4 directions.

Reasons for the decision:

The current political management arrangements have been in place since October 2001. This review of the policy framework will streamline the process and result in overview and scrutiny committees leading policy development. The removal of permitted development rights through Article 4 Directions is a matter for the executive rather than the Area Development Control Committees.
