The report summarised the
Council’s corporate performance data on an exception basis
following the monitoring and review of performance reports by the
Chief Executive, Directors, and Assistant Directors. The period
covered was 1 April to 30 June 2023.
 
Cllr Kingsbury commented that
BPI 28 (the percentage of all planning
enforcement cases where a decision on action had been taken within
28 days), the target was 87% but the actual figure was now at 47%.
The service comments in the report explained why this was the case
and he understood there were a lot of current enforcement cases but
this was an issue residents raised and he asked about the scope for
improving enforcement. Cllr Zukowskyj responded that enforcement
was a priority; the issue was a combination of the way in which
some cases were being progressed, and an influx of new cases that
needed to be progressed through the system. This was an area of
focus and a structured plan was in place to improve performance in
subsequent quarters. Statistics over the year would provide a
better perspective than those for this quarter alone.
