DECISION

1.      To agree to the procurement of the EIA Review Contract.

2.      To delegate to the Corporate Director Development and Renewal or to such other officer who then receives such delegation in accordance with Part A of the Scheme of Management in Part 3 of the Council’s constitution the power to agree to entering into the contract with the winner or winners (as the case may be) of the procurement of the EIA Review Contract

Action by:

CORPORATE DIRECTOR, DEVELOPMENT AND RENEWAL (A. DALVI)

(Environmental Impact Assessment Officer (H. Peacock)

Councillor Rachel Blake, Cabinet Member for Strategic Development introduced the report. She explained that spending on Environmental Impact Assessment Reviews had been greater than anticipated due to the Borough receiving more development applications that required statements that expected. A new contract was therefore required.

The Mayor agreed the recommendations as set out in the report.
