Determining applications
The Council has delegated the Authority for
determining development proposal to a panel of twenty Councillors
known as the
Development Panel. In the same manner the power to determine
certain kinds of proposals has been delegated to officers. The
powers are defined within the Scheme of Delegation in Respect of
Planning and Building Control Matters.

Each year the various Sections of the Authority
produce a Service Plan to inform the corporate process of securing
service improvement, performance management and financial planning.
