That is an approval rate of 65%. Planning figures come from local planning authority records compiled by Landstack, retrieved on 3 October 2026.

Schemes approved in Q3 2026, together with those still awaiting a decision, propose around 807 homes, an estimated £179.4m 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.
