Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:

To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, what records his Department keeps on the number of major decisions overturned at appeal by the local planning authority in England.

My department reports on the number of major decisions overturned at appeal by local planning authorities in England in planning statistics Live Table P152, using data provided by the Planning Inspectorate.

The latest version of this table was published on 10 August 2017 as experimental statistics to enable councils to validate the information held.

Live Table P152 can be viewed at the following link: https://www.gov.uk/government/statistical-data-sets/live-tables-on-planning-application-statistics.
