Consideration was given to
recommendation HP 23/26 of the Housing and Planning Scrutiny Select
Committee of 14 December 2023 in respect of the review of the
Planning Performance Agreement Protocol (PPA) and fee charging
schedule for 2024/25.
 
Due regard was
given to the views of the Scrutiny Select Committee, the financial
and value for money considerations and legal
implications.  Cabinet welcomed the
introduction of an ‘inception meeting’ to support the
Planning Performance Agreement Protocol and recognised that, whilst
fees were set on a cost recovery only basis, the current fee
schedule did not recover the full costs of the service.    Therefore, Cabinet supported the
revised charging schedule for 2024/25 (attached at Annex 3).
 

RESOLVED:  That
 
(1)            
the amendment and publication of the Planning Performance Protocol
(attached at Annex 1) be approved;

 
(2)            
the inception meeting (attached at Annex 2) be adopted; and
 
(3)            
the updated Planning Performance Agreement charging schedule for
2024/25 (attached at Annex 3) be adopted.
