Wiltshire, the local planning authority covering Devizes, approved 56 residential planning applications and refused 21 in Q3 2026 (1 July to 30 September 2026), with 259 still awaiting a decision. That is an approval rate of 73%. A further 1 residential decision in the period has no recorded outcome in the source data and is not counted above. Planning figures come from local planning authority records compiled by Landstack, retrieved on 3 October 2026. Councils and Landstack can take several days to publish decisions, so decisions made in the final days of Q3 2026 may not all be included yet.

Schemes approved in Q3 2026, together with those still awaiting a decision, propose around 7,046 homes, an estimated £2.1bn of development value at local sale prices. Treat the unit total as an upper bound, since an outline permission and its reserved-matters application both count.

Wiltshire covers more than one town in Wiltshire, so these figures are authority-wide rather than specific to Devizes alone.
