Herefordshire Council constitution

To support the council's intention that decision taking should be delegated in the interests of speed, and consistent with democratic accountability and openness, the constitution delegates officer decision making to the chief executive.

The chief executive is unable to take all decisions personally and this scheme of delegation sets out: who the chief executive has authorised to take decisions or fulfil specified proper officer functions on his behalf; and the framework in which those delegations may be exercised.
