Report of the Assistant Director of Planning Regeneration and Transport pdf icon PDF 67 KB

Minutes:

Consideration was given to the reporthighlighted the current performance of the Development Management team.

 

The report detailed the performance statistics for Development Management against the Government targets for each application type.  It also set out what enforcement action had been prioritised against the new Enforcement Plan during 2018.

 

Development Management, like all other services within the Council, had to save money year on year and was now at a resource level that would struggle to maintain performance if it was subject to further reductions. 

 

A considerable amount of work had been undertaken to ensure the service was as efficient as possible and this, amongst a few other reasons, had been recognised by the RTPI in awarding Rotherham as the ‘Local Authority Planning Team of the Year’ 2018.

 

Resolved:-  That the report be received and the contents noted.
