Site Visits By Planning Committee Members – Travel
Expenses A member has queried whether travel expenses arising
from site visits made by members of this Committee can be claimed. The law says that travel
expenses can only be paid to members for "approved duties". These
are defined in the relevant legislation and are mainly, as one might expect,
meetings. However, a local authority can designate other things as approved
duties. This Committee is asked to
consider whether to designate site visits to look at sites of applications or
other matters coming before this Committee as “approved duties”. Members of
this Committee would then be able to claim for car or motor cycle mileage at
rates laid down, or for the cost or travel by public transport (including
taxis if no other form of public transport is reasonably available). (The
position with regard to cycle allowances is at present uncertain. The Local
Government Act, 2000, allows the Secretary of State to make regulations
"with respect to allowances in respect of travel by bicycle or any other
non-motorised form of transport" but has not yet done so. If members
feel that this is something which should be pursued, the officers will
investigate whether the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister is planning to
make regulations). The Committee should take a
view on the merits as to whether attendance at site meetings should be an
approved duty. If the Committee considers that it should be, the officers will
need to monitor the effect on the relevant budget and take appropriate action
if it appears that additional resources will be needed. However, the
financial implications will probably not be significant. |
