Note 1: SX26 - We want to respond within 1 day by 07/08 by the full use of ICT but this will depend on progress on data conversion and new ICT systems.

Note 2: BV78a – The target has been set to achieve the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) performance standard.

Note 3: BV78b – The apparently static target actually represents planned improvement due to the increasing workload.

Note 4: BV109a to c - Targets are set to achieve the performance level identified by the government. With 80 other authorities, we have been identified as a Best Value Planning authority, which is the first step in a legal process that, in the event of persistent under-performance can lead to intervention by the Secretary of State.
