Planning applications in reverse growth trend

Planning applications in reverse growth trend

Monday, December 12, 2005

In the third quarter of 2005, district planning authorities in England received 161,000 applications for planning permission and other related consents. This is 8% lower than in the corresponding period last year and appears now to reflect a change from the long-term trend of growth in the numbers of planning applications received, the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister said.

The number of applications received decreased in all regions compared with the same quarter a year ago. The largest decreases were in the North West (13%) and the North East (12%) and the smallest in the West Midlands (4%).

Planning Decisions

District planning authorities made 159,000 planning decisions in the third quarter of 2005, 10% lower than a year earlier.

All regions saw a decrease in the number of decisions. The largest decreases were in the North West (15%), East of England (13%) and the East Midlands (12%). The smallest decreases were the South East and London, down 8% each. (Table 2, Map 2).

Householder decisions decreased by 15% from 95,700 to 81,200 but still account for 51% of all decisions. Decisions on new dwelling applications, both major and minor sites, reduced from 21,600 to 20,600 and account for 13% of the total.
