The framework has evolved since then, to now capture key elements of what the Scottish Government considers to be a high-performing planning service. These include: • speed of decision-making • certainty of timescales, process and advice • delivery of good quality development • project management • clear communications and open engagement • an overall ‘open for business’ attitude This Framework gives a balanced measurement of the overall quality of the planning service in Inverclyde, identifying what happened in 2016-17 as well as what is planned for 2017-18. It will form the basis on which the Scottish Government will assess planning performance against the backdrop of Inverclyde Council determining planning applications considerably faster than the Scottish average and benefitting from an up-to–date Local Development Plan and on-track replacement.

GREENOCK : PRINTED BY JOHN MALCOM, 3ROAD CLOSE. 1841. ADDRESS. The design of the present work being to give a succinct and accurate Di= rectory of the bankers, merchants, manufacturers, ship-owners, agents, and principal inhabitants of Greenock, no pains have been spared to render it as correct and complete as possible. A short Historical Sketch has been prefixed, giving a concise view of the rise and progress of the town, with its harbours, commerce and manu- factures, together with the principal causes that have promoted its present maritime importance and manufacturing enterprise. In order to render the work as generally useful as possible, a Register has also been prefixed, forming a complete arrangement of corporate bodies, public institutions, religious associations, liteiary, scientific and other societies, to- gether with copious shipping and other lists connected with the town. In procuring the various details, the Publisher has availed himself of every means of information in his power. To the magistrates, the clergy, merchants, ship-owners^ and office-bearers of public institutions, he offers his respectful thanks for their obliging and valuable assistance. To Weir's History of Greenock, and to the columns of the Greenock Advertiser, he is also indebted, and acknowledges the free use he has made of the informa- tion contained in these publications. In a word, the Register and Directory may be briefly described as a com- pendious digest of the statistical, the moral, the political, and the commercial interests of the town of Greenock CONTENTS.
