Members were advised that, in respect of EHPI 157a – processing of planning applications: ‘Major’ applications, Performance was ‘Red’ for July 2013 as 1 out of 5 decisions had been made within the target timescale.  Members were advised that the remaining four decisions had been delayed either by applicants or as a result of the requirement for additional input from third party organisations.

The Director stated that, in respect of EHPI 218b – percentage of abandoned vehicles removed within 24 hours of the required time, Performance was ‘Red’ for July 2013 as targets had not been met as two vehicles collected on behalf of Riversmead were outside of the timescale as a result of access issues.

The Director updated Members in respect of the performance of the Authority relating to NI 191 – residual household waste per household and NI 192 – percentage of household waste sent for reuse, recycling and composting.
