        Hill Pleased by Improved Planning Performance
 
27/06/2003 (source: ODPM) - continued


Keith Hill said:

“It is encouraging to see a considerable number of authorities who are just below our performance targets. It just needs a small push and they will be there.”

“My only concern is the improvements in performance remain concentrated in the simpler, householder applications. I want to see how next year’s planning delivery grant can provide an incentive to better handling of major applications.

“I am keen to see those authorities who work hard to improve the service they give to their communities being rewarded. We spent £50 million this year and there is £130 million available in 2004/05 for those authorities who raise their game. But this isn’t just about speed, it’s about the overall quality of the service.”

Large developers have been ‘stockpiling’ land into their own land banks with the knowledge that in future years as towns and city’s naturally expand planning will be granted.
This enables the shrewd private investor to emulate the fortunes that have been made by developers without tying up huge sums of money.
