This report provides an update on progress made against the Key Priority Targets 2018/19.

The Committee received a report providing an update on progress made against the Key Priority Targets 2018/19.

The following matters were considered:

a)            Allocation of target to Licensing & Planning Policy Committee/Planning Committee. A Member of the Committee enquired why the target “No more than ten percent of major planning applications allowed at appeal (using the two-year rolling assessment period defined by the Government)” had been allocated to the Licensing and Planning Policy Committee rather than the Planning Committee. The Head of Policy, Performance and Governance informed the meeting that the Service Plan for 2018-19 required that all Key Service Priority targets be allocated to one of the Council’s Policy Committees for overview.

b)            Development of two units for residential accommodation in South Street. The Committee was informed that officers intended to present a report regarding the project to the January 2019 meeting of the Strategy and Resources Committee.

Following consideration, the Committee:

(1)          Noted the overview of the Key Priority Targets as at Phase One attached at Annex 1.

(2)          Considered the performance reported in Annex 2 and did not identify any areas of concern.

(3)          Commented on the actions that have been proposed or taken where performance was currently a concern.
