Planning Turnaround updated

The Planning Turnaround analysis, within the Performance Benchmarking section of the RSN website, has now been updated for the year to June 2023. 

These analyses provide benchmarking on speed of decisions for 'major', 'minor' and 'other' development types. 

The turnaround of planning decisions is an important measure that is used here to set a chosen authority’s situation in the context of the overall position for peer authority groupings. 

This assists in the effective management of the service, and can be used to identify where an authority’s planning service is performing well or alternatively where issues might have occurred or currently exist.

These analyses can be accessed here.
