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.

Productivity is also an important aspect of development control performance for which there is no national standard. The following chart shows the number of planning applications received and determined by the Council in each financial year from 1997 to 2007.
