Coronavirus - Suspension of DM part of SCI

New Member Posts: 5 Join Date: 14/12/15 Recent Posts

Hi - we are looking to suspend the DM element of our SCI to allow us to only do the stat minimum in terms of publicity of planning applications. This would significantly reduce the number of site notices we need to post and we would continue to send neighbour letters out. Has anyone found a way to do this? As the regs require an SCI to be adopted by Full Council, we don't think we can use CEO urgency powers to vary the SCI. Concern being we would be doing what statute requires but not in accordance with SCI adopted by Council and therefore DM decisions could be open to challenge. Answers on a postcard please. :)
