'Name and shame' performance drive
Morris, H
'Name and shame' performance drive - 2001 - Planning (for the Natural and Built Environment) (1429) 27 July 2001, 14-15(2) .
Examines government policy to provide a quick and efficient planning system and its effect on the planning authorities and their staff. Examines the human cost behind the government drive for higher performance with some planning chiefs arguing that their departments are under-resourced and understaffed with increasing levels of stress and burn-out among employees, caused by poor pay and lack of political recognition. Planners are also doubtful over the legitimacy of the 8-week target for handling planning applications.
