1. Summary

1.1 The attached appendices provides an update since the last report to the Regulatory Committee on the progress of minerals and waste and County Council development applications; outstanding enforcement action; planning/enforcement appeals and notice of permissions about to expire.

1.2 Under the Best Value regime, the County Council as a Mineral and Waste Planning Authority has a performance indicator (BVPI) to determine 55% of planning applications1 within 13 weeks. During 2002/03 the County Council determined 61 applications of which 65.6% were dealt with within thirteen weeks. This compares with 49% achieved in 2001/02. The table below provides more detailed information by quarter since April 2002.
