Best Value Performance Indicators for Development Control

Government expects all local planning authorities to perform at or above Best Value targets for development control by 2006.

The targets relate to the speed of determining planning applications and there are three classifications as follows:

Application classification: Target:
Major 60% determined in 13 weeks
Minor 65% determined in 8 weeks
Other (including householder) 80% determined in 8 weeks

The following three charts indicate the Council's current performance for each of these classes of application.

Graph: Percentage of Major Planning Applications Determined Within 13 Weeks

Graph: Percentage of Minor Planning Applications Determined Within 8 Weeks
