03/12/2021 - CLARIFICATION ON INTERPRETATION WITHIN THE DELEGATION SCHEME ref: 391 Recommendations Approved
Decision Maker: Assistant Director of Governance & Monitoring Officer
Decision published: 20/10/2022
Effective from: 03/12/2021
Decision:
To amend the Director of Environment and
Enforcement’s delegation 11.13 to provide clarity on
interpretation. The delegation currently states:
“To authorise the making of Public Space Protection Orders
under Part 4 of the Anti Social Behaviour, Crime and Policing
Act
2014, following consultation with the Leader or Deputy Leader of
the Council and relevant ward members, and to incur any necessary
expenditure to create, manage or revoke Public Space Protection
Orders.”
The delegation was designed to encompass all Part 4 notices and
orders, and singles out the making of PSPOs as requiring extra
consultation above that of other notices / orders detailed in part
4 of the Anti social Behaviour Crime and Policing Act 2014.
To rectify this potential conflict additional wording is
added:
“To authorise the making of notices and orders under Part 4
of the Anti Social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014. In the
case of Public Space Protection Orders only these will require
consultation with the Leader or Deputy Leader of the Council and
relevant ward members, and authorisation given incur any necessary
expenditure to create, manage or revoke Public Space Protection
Orders.”
NB: The delegation scheme has been changed recently under delegated
decision to reflect changes in the Senior Management Team Structure
– the delegation referred to is now delegated to the HOPS as
11.14, however this is not yet printed in the constitution which is
why reference is made above to the published delegation.

RESOLVED

(b) The budget in respect of the Housing Revenue Account (HRA) as set out in Appendix 3 of the report be approved as the Current Budget for 2021/22
