Planning application workload

The number of planning applications received and the number being determined can vary each year, which can indicate changes in workload.

The number of applications for minor and other category developments has increased, as has the number determined across these categories. In contrast the number of applications received and determined for major developments has fallen.

The amount of officer time needed to deal with applications for major schemes can vary greatly. Therefore a fall in numbers in this category does not necessarily mean a fall in workload.
