The delegation rate measures the proportion of planning decisions that are made by appointed officers.
The delegation rate for 2023/24 was 96.5%. This rate has been fairly constant over the last five years.
The overall rate of approval of applicationswas 92.3%. The approval rate has been around 94% in recent years.
