Planning
The key performance indicator (KPI) monitoring the “MBC Success rate at planning appeals within a rolling 12-month period” missed its target by less than 10%, achieving an outcome of 61.54% against a target of 70%. The team will be reviewing themes from the appeals. Where there was no policy which would have supported a successful defence of the appeal, they will consider whether it is appropriate to develop a policy to address the issue.
Economic Development
The KPI tracking the "Footfall in the town centre" missed the target by over 10% and remains below pre-covid quarterly average levels. The decline may be attributed to shifting national shopping patterns, with increased popularity of online shopping, and people's reactions to the ongoing living crisis and rise in interest rates.
