PLANNING SERVICE PERFORMANCE - QUARTER 2 pdf icon PDF 409 KB

Additional documents:

Minutes:

The Committee considered the Planning Service Performance Report for Quarter 2.  This report reflected Quarter 2 for the period between 1st July 2021 and 30th September 2021. It also included the comparative quarterly data for Quarter 1 and 2020/21.

 

It was asked why performance indicators number 14 (Percentage of closed enforcement cases investigated within 84 days) and 15 (Percentage time taken to investigate enforcement cases (in days)) showed a deterioration in Quarter 2 compared to that in Quarter 1.

 

The Committee was advised that the figures reflected the challenges around enforcement however figures were an interim imbalance which would improve one the revised policy and processes were implemented.  It was stated that it was hoped that Quarter 3 and year-end figures would show an improvement.  Additionally, long term resourcing issues were being address and resources would be channelled to reduce the current enforcement backlog.

 

RESOLVED that the report be received.
