Freedom of information class: How we deliver functions and services

An update on our key performance indicators for the last quarter of 2020/21.

This is the last set of KPI results based on our Corporate Business Plan 2020-2025 where we outlined our four strategic objectives and identified a series of key performance indicators (KPIs) that would act as targets to ensure we achieve them.

We are committed to being transparent and will be sharing our progress against our KPIs outlining what the target is and when it is due to be achieved on a quarterly basis.

All of the following targets were set as part of our corporate planning progress and agreed before the COVID-19 pandemic.

Objective one: Complete Scotland's land register by 2024

Our aim was to reach 50% of land mass on the register by March 2021.

Due to the effects of the pandemic, the target for land mass coverage was missed in 2020-21.

First registration 64.1% 60% Ahead of target
Transfer of Part 24.1% 60% Behind target

The KPI to complete 60% within 35 days is for applications submitted from 1 April 2021.

Indications are we are on track to deliver this target for FRs (currently 64.1%) and DWs (currently 86.8%). Although on an upward trend, due to exceptionally high intakes in March we did not meet our target for TPs.

  • improve our data
