Decision details

To provide the Head of Service Property, Strategic Asset Manager, Estate Manager and Team Leader Town Centre Property delegated powers to approve all relevant documents on behalf of Property / Estates.

“As Executive Director of Growth and Sustainability the functions of Property and Estates lie within my Directorate.  The Group Leader Assets (now Estates) has powers listed in Part 3 of the Constitution – Responsibility for Executive Functions Officer Delegations, Updated 1 February 2024, Section C Paragraphs 11 and 17 .  The existing post holder is currently absent.  I wish to ensure those powers remain exercisable by officers for twelve months to cover any period of ongoing absence or future vacancy.

Therefore in accordance with section A, paragraphs 10 to 12 of Part 3 of the Constitution – Responsibility for Executive Functions Officer Delegations, Updated 1 February 2024, I delegate the powers of the Group Leader Assets (now Estates) listed in Section C, Paragraphs 11 and 17 of Part 3 of the Constitution – Responsibility for Executive Functions Officer Delegations Updated 1 February 2024, for the 12 month period from the date of this ODR, to the Head of Service Property, Strategic Asset Manager, Estate Manager and Team Leader Town Centre Property in particular including authority to sign any document to give effect to the exercise of those powers.

By extending the delegated powers to a wider pool of resource, it allows continuation of service in the absence of the Group Leader Assets (now Estates).

There are no other suitable alternatives.
