Where Does All The Money Go? (Planning Advisory Committee)

24 Sep 2010

The Planning Advisory Service (PAS) have produced the early report on Managing Excellent Planning Services (MEPS): A Planning Advisory Service project on value for money in planning.

The report is based on data from 15 authorities (LPAs) and £22m of costs. It uses information derived from 130,000 planning applications, 19 development plan documents and the timesheets of over 600 staff. Although most of the data is in draft and still requires formal acceptance from the authorities themselves. This report is not intended to suggest that ‘cheapest is best' or that the performance achieved in one place is relevant elsewhere, but rather to provide useful comparable information about costs, performance and methods.
