In August 2007 the Audit Commission published its review of
Suffolk Coastal's planning services and concluded that it was a
good two-star service with promising prospects for improvement. The
service under review consisted of development control, planning
enforcement and planning policy (including conservation).
According to the Audit Commission, the strengths included:
- A good range of planning advice is on offer to customers.
- The service is effective in most cases when consulting and
engaging with customers.
- The speed of dealing with all types of planning applications
has improved over the last eighteen months.
- The service provides good value for money in relation to the
quality of service and outcomes it delivers.
