1. Summary

1.1 The attached appendices provide an update 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 Best Value Performance Indicator (BVPI) to determine 55% of planning applications within 13 weeks. During 2002/03, the County Council determined 61 applications of which 65.6% were dealt with within 13 weeks. This compares with 49% achieved in 2001/02. Table 1 provides more detailed information by quarter since April 2002.

Table 1: Planning (County Matters)Application Performance ¹

(April 2002 to September 2003)

Quarter	No Received	No Determined	No Determined in 13 Wks	Percentage Within 13 Wks	Withdrawn
02/2	20	13	11	85	1
02/3	22	8	7	88	3
02/4	18	20	11	55	0
03/1	32	21	12	57	2
03/2	32	27	15	56	3
03/3	19	35	21	60	3

1.3 There are no BVPIs concerning determining applications for the County Council's own development. However, the Environment Department has adopted a standard for `service planning' purposes which requires 80% of minor applications to be determined within eight weeks. During the current financial year the best quarters performance illustrated in Table 2 was 39%, significantly short of the performance standard. This below par performance is partly attributed to delays in District Councils registering, publicising and commenting on County Council applications. These issues will be addressed in a forthcoming report on the Council's Development Control Policy, which will be recommending appropriate remedial measures.

Table 2: Planning (Minor HCC Developments) Application Performance (April to December 2003)

Quarter	No. Received	No. Determined	No. Determined in 8 Weeks	% Within 8 Weeks	Withdrawn
03/2	56	34	10	29	0
03/3	23	56	21	39	2
03/4*	21	24	3	14	3

*Incomplete Quarter - October to December

1.4 BVPI 111 requires all planning authorities to undertake a customer satisfaction survey of all those applicants who received a decision during the period April to September 2003. The form of the survey is prescribed by the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister (ODPM). Over half those surveyed have already replied to the questionnaire. A final, second reminder has just been sent out to those who have not yet replied. The results of the survey are required to be submitted to the ODPM in the New Year. The results will also be reported at a future meeting of the Regulatory Committee.
