To consider changes to the Design Code Task Group.

The Committee considered a report on updates to the Design Code Task Group terms of reference. In order to not delay the design codes project, it was recommended that authority be delegated for ‘gateway’ decisions regarding the design codes project, and the terms of reference be updated to accommodate membership changes if a member appointed by the Committee was unable to continue work on the task group. Updates would be provided to members of the committee on a regular basis.

The Committee noted that if not agreed, the decisions would need to be brought to Committee and would significantly delay the project.

The Committee resolved to

1.     Delegate authority to make decisions at ‘gateway’ points to the Group Head for Place, Protection and Prosperity in consultation with the Chair of the Environment and Sustainability Committee

2.     Agree the amended version of the Design Code Task Group Terms of Reference.
