Report DRR 13/083

In April 2013, Members endorsed a revised Outline Planning Improvement Plan as a framework for improvement.  Customer Service was identified as the primary area for review followed by Planning Enforcement.

Members considered progress to date, together with an updated version of the Improvement Plan.  A report on Planning Enforcement was considered at item 9 of the agenda.

Referring to the figures outlined at the top of page 66, Councillor Mrs Manning asked why there were budget details for the year 2013/14.  The Chief Planner responded that as the Improvement Plan ran from cycle-to-cycle, budget data was included in this report.

Members were informed that the most convenient date to hold the all Councillor Seminar on Planning Customer Service was being sought.

RESOLVED that the Planning Service Improvements be noted and the next priorities set out in the report be endorsed.
