As detailed in the recommendation.

Councillor Kevin Jones introduced the change to delegation for the Mobile Homes (Wales) Act 2013 report which sought approval to delegate decisions in relation to the fitness and propriety of any application for a licence under the Mobile Homes Wales Act 2013 to a Public Protection Service Manager.

                        On 21^st April, 2015, a report was submitted to Cabinet, which included a recommendation that any application for a site licence where the fitness and propriety of the applicant was questioned, it be referred to and determined by a Licensing Sub-Committee.  It has since become apparent that the Mobile Homes Wales Act 2013 was an executive function, and delegation should not have been passed to the Licensing Sub-Committee as this was a committee of the Council.  Therefore, the report seeks approval for any application for a licence under the Mobile Homes Wales Act 2013 to be delegated to a Public Protection Service Manager, in consultation with the Cabinet Member.

                        Councillor Kevin Jones advised that no decisions had been made in relation to ‘fit and proper person’ under the legislation so far, therefore no decision had been compromised.

RESOLVED:

That delegated decisions in relation to the grant of a licence in respect of this legislation be given to a Public Protection Service Manager.
