2003 SIXTH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE PLANNING AUDIT UNIT
INTRODUCTION
The Sixth Annual Report of the Planning Audit Unit follows the same format as last year with the full complement of performance statistics on our Planning Home Page www.scotland.gov.uk/about/planning/audit.aspx. We continue to give a brief commentary on the tables of council, together with the Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park Authority, and Executive performance on planning. Notes are also provided on the work of the unit, on some of the year's key findings and issues raised for the Executive.
In 2003-04 a full planning audit was completed for South Ayrshire Council while a review of the Glasgow City Council planning service was also undertaken. In 2004-2005 full planning audits are programmed for East Dunbartonshire and Western Isles Councils and a review of the development control service in the City of Edinburgh Council.
