PROPOSED CHANGE TO SCHEME OF DELEGATION – GROUND BASED TELECOMS MASTS 12.

Decided: that the Council’s Scheme of Delegation be amended to permit the appointed person, (Head of Planning and Regeneration, The Planning and Place Manager, Planning Manager (North) and Planning Manager (South)) to determine applications within the category of prior notification or prior approval made under the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (Scotland) Order 1992, Schedule 1 for Part 20 – Class 67: Development by Electronic Communications Code Operators, regardless of how many objections have been received.

Thereon, the Council agreed to incorporate the terms of the amendment into the process for considering petitions as set out within the report.

If the petition concerns a matter that is the Council's responsibility and relates to a specific geographical area it is sent to the appropriate Area Community Partnership Manager. If the petition relates to the Council as a whole, or across multiple LAP areas proceed to Step 4.

SPECIAL NORTH LANARKSHIRE COUNCIL - 9 JUNE 2022 31 APPOINTMENT TO AUDIT AND SCRUTINY PANEL In considering CIPFA’s guidance on the function and operation of audit committees, there are no statutory requirements that determine the composition of the audit committee although best practice recommends that the chair of the audit committee should not be a member of the Executive and Audit Scotland have previously recommended that this role should be undertaken by someone not a member of the parties forming the administration. It should be noted that all audit committees are non-executive bodies whose role is to make recommendations rather than to decide policies directly and that the impact of the committee is through influence and persuasion rather than direct decision making. The committee’s effectiveness does not depend on the delegation of powers or the political background of the Chair but rather being able to demonstrate objectivity and independence, and having a membership that will work together. Accordingly, the proposal is that the role of Chair of the Audit and Scrutiny Panel is initially undertaken by an SNP Councillor, which whilst not fully compliant with best practice, is underpinned by a commitment by this Council that we shall continue to work to ensure that the Panel operates effectively and will seek to formally review of the effectiveness of the Panel (including the role of the Chair). Expressly the Administration shall appoint a Chair of the Audit and Scrutiny Panel after the Mid-Term of Administration following a period of review in line with the large scale strategic challenges facing local government – and such appointment shall be to that of a nominated Elected Member from the principal Opposition Party of the Council, as is best practice.
