Summary

This Barbour provided dataset contains quarterly permissions for units granted planning permission in England for the given time period. Data are given as a rolling annual average.

Barbour provide DCLG with up to date statistics on planning, construction, and house building across England to help provide better quality analysis for evidence based policy making under a contract (secured through open tender). The monthly and quarterly permissions are all the projects and units granted planning permission in England for the given time period.

Assumptions

  • Permissions are broken down by size: ‘major’ and ‘minor’ with ‘minor’ being any project with fewer than 10 units.

  • Permissions are only counted if the project has reserved matters or detailed plans granted by the relevant authority. Outline Plans granted are not included.

  • All residential categories are included except elderly person’s homes, hostels, student accommodation and any project with ‘holiday’ in its heading.

  • Developments only where there is an element of ‘New Build’ or a conversion into residential.

  • The totals are for England only

The figures exclude any re-permission awarded less than 1 year after any previous permission on a site.

This dataset differs from DCLG collected data on planning decisions. The figures collected by the Department are numbers of planning applications submitted to local planning authorities rather than the number of units included in each application.
