This report provides an update against our Key Priority Performance Targets for 2016 to 2017, under our new Corporate Plan.

The Committee:

(1)            Considered the performance reported in Annexe 1 to the report and did not identify any areas of concern;

(2)            Considered the actions that had been proposed or taken where performance was currently a concern as set out in paragraph 3.1 of the report.

The Committee was asked to consider the second report of 2016/2017 that measured key priority performance targets under the new Corporate Plan.

It was reported that since the publication of the agenda there had been one further update, i.e.: the Green Belt Study had been delayed and would be presented to the Licensing and Planning Policy Committee at a future meeting.  The Chairman acknowledged that lack of staff resources had affected work flow, but noted that new staff in place had positively impacted the situation.

The Committee agreed that the performance targets for 2016/2017 had been well thought out and successfully reflected the speed and quality of decision making for planning applications.

Accordingly, the Committee:

(1)      Considered the performance reported in Annexe 1 to the report and did not identify any areas of concern;

(2)      Considered the actions that had been proposed or taken where performance was currently a concern as set out in paragraph 3.1 of the report.
