PLANNING SERVICE PERFORMANCE - QUARTER 4 PDF 376 KB Additional documents: Minutes: The Committee considered the Quarter 4 Planning Service Performance Report, which included core performance monitoring indicators and reflected the reporting period 01 April 2021 to 31 March 2022. Comparative data in respect of 2020/21 was also provided.
The Committee was advised that the performance against National Performance Indicators 18 and 19 pertaining to the percentage of all planning applications determined and the percentage of planning appeals dismissed had been exceeded for the first time. A marked improvement in performance was also achieved in respect of the Local Performance Indicators.
Reference was made to performance indicators 13-15 pertaining to enforcement, whereby a member queried the impact of matters related to phosphates on performance levels and sought assurance that the Division had sufficient resource to address the number of enforcement related complaints. The Head of Head of Place and Sustainability was pleased to report that Carmarthenshire County Council was the first planning authority in Wales to launch a phosphate calculator to assist developers calculate the impact of their project on local phosphate levels, and this had led to a significant improvement in addressing such matters. Furthermore, it was clarified that the Division had been reconfigured to enable a full complement of Enforcement Officers to manage enforcement cases and that the situation would continue to be monitored. In this regard, the Head of Head of Place and Sustainability reported that Performance Indicator 14 (Percentage of closed enforcement cases investigated within 84 days) showed a near 400% increase in cases closed in the 2021/22 reporting period and the 14% decrease in cases closed “on target" from 50% to 36% was attributable to the focus on resolving historic cases.
