The Planning Service has targets for dealing with planning applications. Our current targets for speed of decision making are:
80% of planning decisions issued within 8 weeks
90% of planning decisions issued within 13 weeks
The Planning Service publishes reviews of performance against these targets.
If we fail to meet targets we're committed to finding out why and to making sure that we get back on the right track.
The monitoring report for DC performance for the year 2020 - 2021: 6th April 2020 - 5th October 2020, shows that during this period:
29% of decisions were made within 8 weeks (target 80%)
67% of decisions were made within 13 weeks (target 90%)
The Planning Service is continuing to work hard to achieve its targets and will continue to monitor progress. The next monitoring report will be available in January 2021.
Note: The figures for this quarterly period demonstrate the impact on performance of the COVID-19 pandemic and lockdown.
