➡️ Surrey Council to Publish Action Plan in Response to Damning LGA Review Warning that its Planning Department Needs Urgent Attention.. ➡️ A Surrey hung council has promised to publish an action plan next month in response to a damning peer review warning that its planning department was “under significant pressure" and requires “urgent attention”, while its lack of a local plan posed a “significant financial risk”. ➡️ The Corporate Peer Challenge (CPC) review by the Local Government Association (LGA) involved a team of senior local government councillors and officers carrying out a detailed study of Tandridge District Council’s financial, performance and governance situation. ➡️ The resulting report said of the council’s planning service that “the full financial cost of not having a local plan, the increase of planning appeals, an increase in enforcement cases all pose a significant financial risk” to the council which should “reduce these risks as soon as possible”. #planning #newhomes #homes #development
