PDF 70 KBFor information only. To inform Members of
necessary changes to the delegation of decisions relating to the
fitness and propriety of applicants to hold a licence under the
Scrap Metal Dealers Act 2013 or the Mobile Homes (Wales) Act
2014
Decision:
That the report be noted.
Minutes:
The Public Protection Manager introduced the report on Changing the Delegation of Decisions in Relation to ‘Fit and Proper Person’ for the Mobile Homes Wales Act 2013. The report highlighted necessary changes to the delegated decisions.
Following the Cabinet decision on 21st April 2015, it had become apparent that the Mobile Homes Wales Act 2013 was an executive function and delegation should not have been passed to Licensing Sub Committee as that was a Committee of the Council. Cabinet should have been asked to delegate to either a Sub-Committee of the Cabinet, a Cabinet Member or an individual officer. A report was being prepared for Cabinet in December seeking that a decision of the fitness and propriety of an applicant be delegated to a Service Manager which Members supported.
RESOLVED:
That the report be noted
