Summary statistics on planning decision-making and timescales for April to September 2019.
4. Processing Agreements
Some local authorities use processing agreements where the developer and the local authority agree on timescales for decisions. Applications subject to a processing agreement are not included in average decision time calculations and are reported separately.
In the first six months of 2019/20 there were 1,219 applications decided that had processing agreements, 134 fewer than in the same period in the previous year.
In quarter one 6.8% of all applications (606 of 8,905) had processing agreements, in quarter two this increased to 6.9% (613 of 8,891) of all applications having a processing agreement.
