Dear Mr Dugdale,

Thank you for your email of 4^th June 2018 where you requested
information about planning application statistics.

The information that you require is supplied on a quarterly basis to The
Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government and is subsequently
published via the Gov.uk website.  It is therefore exempt under section 21
of the Freedom of Information Act as it is information accesible by other
means.  The page containing the live and historic tables can be found
unsing [1]this link.  Table 131 shows the latest quarterly figures by
authority and table 132 shows the most recent annual figure by authority. 
The tables display the statistics by “Major” “Minor” and “Other” category,
 householder applications are included in the “Other” category and are not
separated out.  I have included those figures below as they are not
specifically available via the Gov.uk site.

The supply of information in response to a freedom of information request

private study and non-commercial research without requiring permission.
 Similarly, information supplied can also be re-used for the purposes of
news reporting. An exception to this is photographs.

For other forms of re-use, for example publishing the information, you
would need the permission of the organisation or person who owns the
copyright.  In the case of information produced by government departments
and agencies you can re-use the information under the Open Government
Licence.  For information about this please see
