To consider report of the Service Manager Development and Estates.

Minutes:

Consideration was given to the report of the Service Manager Development & Estates.

 

The Service Manager outlined the Council’s current performance as follows:

 

Figure 1: the Council decided 100% of all applications in time. This compares to a Welsh average of 85%.

 

Figure 2: on average it took 60 days from registration to decision for the Council to decide each planning application. The Wales average is 83 days.

 

Figure 3: 29% of Planning Committee decisions were contrary to officer recommendation. The Wales average is 15%.

 

Members congratulated the Planning Team on their performance for quarter 4 and enquired if under the current circumstances, this performance could be maintained.  The Service Manager advised that it was unlikely that this performance could be maintained as some Planning Officers were still redeployed to Covid 19 duties.

 

RESOLVED that the report be accepted and the information contained therein be noted.
