Strategic Plan Performance Update Quarter 3 2016/17 |
|
1. PURPOSE OF REPORT AND EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
1.1 Wider Leadership Team is asked to review the progress of key strategies, plans, and performance indicators that support the delivery of the Strategic Plan 2015-2020
1.2 Data has been provided where it was not available for the Quarter 2 performance update.
2. INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND
2.1 Having a comprehensive set of actions and performance indicators ensures that the Council delivers against the priorities and actions set in the Strategic Plan.
2.2 The Strategic Plan now has 32 Key Performance Indicators that were agreed in April 2016. This is in addition to the existing 14 plan and strategy updates.
2.3 Performance indicators are judged in two ways; firstly on whether performance has improved, sustained or declined, compared to the same period in the previous year. This is known as direction. Where there is no previous data, no assessment of direction can be made.
2.4 The second way is to look at whether an indicator has achieved the target set and is known as PI status. If an indicator has achieved or exceeded the annual target they are rated green. If the target has been missed but is within 10% of the target it will be rated amber and if the target has been missed by more than 10% it will be rated red.
2.5 Some indicators will show an asterisk (*) after the figure, these are provisional values that are awaiting confirmation. Data for some of the indicators were not available at the time of reporting in these cases a date has been provided of when the information is expected.
2.6 Contextual indicators are not targeted but are given a direction. Indicators that are not due for reporting or where there is delay in data collection are not rated against targets or given a direction.
3. Quarter 3 Performance Summary
3.1 There are 32 key performance indicators (KPIs) which were developed with Heads of Service and unit managers, and agreed by Policy & Resources Committee for 2016/17.
3.2 Overall, 100% (3) of KPIs reported this quarter achieved their annual target for quarter 3 and performance improved compared to the same quarter last year.

5. Performance by Priority
Priority 2: Securing a successful economy for Maidstone Borough
5.1 The number of school journeys undertaken without a car was 4661 for quarter 3. This was an increase on quarter 2; and similar figure to quarter 1. The increase may be due to a push in the first school term after the school holidays to encourage pupils to engage in sustainable travel.
5.2 87.5% of major planning applications were processed on time during quarter 3. Performance continues to be strong in the processing of major applications.
5.3 A total of 69 affordable homes were delivered, exceeding the target of 45 for the quarter. There were 258 affordable completions up to 31 December 2016. The annual target has already been exceeded by 78 completions. Affordable completions have been strong this year as a result of some sites being delivered as 100% affordable housing. Some phases of affordable housing have been brought forward on sites in the emerging local plan.
5.4 We have housed 172 people through the housing register for quarter 3
2016/17. This is comparable to the number housed for the same period last year, and has exceeded the quarterly target of 150.
6. CONSULTATION RESULTS AND PREVIOUS COMMITTEE FEEDBACK
6.1 The
Strategic Plan Performance Update will be reported quarterly to the Sservice
Ccommittees;
Communities, Housing and Environment Committee;,
Strategic Planning, Sustainability and &
Transportation Committee,
and Heritage, Culture, and Leisure Committee. The report
will then go to Policy & Resources Ccommittee
following these meetings, with any feedback from the Committees.
7. PREFERRED OPTION AND REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS
7.1 The Council could choose not to monitor the Strategic Plan and/or make alternative performance management arrangements, such as the frequency of reporting. This is not recommended as it could lead to action not being taken against performance during the year, and the Council failing to deliver its priorities.
