The Director of Customer and Community Services submitted a report on the performance of key indicators relating to Environment Scrutiny during the period October 2010and January 2011.

Councillor P Grethe referred to the significant increase in the number of Planning Appeals and the costs involved.  The Director of Customer and Community Services confirmed that he would ask the Head of Planning and Building Control to respond separately.

Councillor M Newman queried the discontinuance of two building control Performance Indicators and whether there were any costs incurred by the Council and whether any costs were incurred when the Council won on an appeal.  He questioned whether the fact that they were not monitored was a consequence of an increase in planning appeals.  

The Director of Customer and Community undertook to ask the Head of Planning and Building Control and would respond separately on this matter.

Members received the report.

RESOLVED – that the report be received.
