Planning authorities’ schemes of delegation are important documents now, but so far it’s not always been easy to find one when you need it. Now the Scottish Government have provided a page with links to all the planning authorities’ schemes, so the problem should be solved.
The Government have also followed Brodies’ lead by producing an analysis of the schemes of delegation showing the reasons for which a decision might be reserved to committee. As our research showed, there’s a fair bit of variation across the country. I do wonder, though, why the Government has carried out and published this work? Is its aim just to be helpful? It surely can’t intend any criticism of the degree of variation – it approved all these different schemes.
