3.19 the document should set out clear criteria for acceptable delegation of applications. It seems that at present it relies on individual councillors to spot a troublesome application to prevent it going through as delegated approval. A specific set of criteria to determine those safe to be delegated would be more appropriate and would be fail-safe.
