NI 157a - Processing of planning applications as measured against targets for major application types

This indicator measures the percentage of planning applications dealt with in a timely manner: major, minor and other. All local planning authorities except county councils should use CLG form PS2 for supplying information on the planning applications determined. A timely manner is defined as within 13 weeks for Major applications and within 8 weeks for Minor and Other applications. Subject to the outcome of the recent consultation paper applications that are part of a Planning Performance Agreement and the timetable agreed with developers is adhered to will be excluded from the calculations.本指标用于统计按时办结的规划申请占比，涵盖大型、小型及其他类型规划申请。除郡议会外，所有地方规划主管部门需使用CLG的PS2表格报送已办结规划申请的相关信息。按时办结的时限定义为：大型申请需在13周内完成审批，小型及其他类型申请需在8周内完成审批。根据最新咨询文件的最终结论，凡属于规划绩效协议（Planning Performance Agreement）范畴且严格执行与开发商协商一致办理时限的规划申请，将不纳入本次统计范围。
