The County Plan by its nature and importance needs to be the correct combination of control planning and forward planning. The draft of successive plans should have in its Statistical Review and Analysis, a list of the results, i.e. Feedback. This would comprise achievements or otherwise of the target objectives and compliance with guidelines and standards set out in the preceding plan.
Performance indicators reflect the success or otherwise of plans.
Statistics should inform planning. Research should inform planning. Research may be both in-house or brought in. In the List of Documents and Maps Referred to in this Plan and Available for Inspection at Clare County Council Head Office, there are many not mentioned that could be considered relevant and worthwhile research input. Specialists People People-expertise is the link between Statistics and Research.
