Highest Ever Monthly Online Planning Application numbers!
Just a quick note to report that December broke the record for the highest ever percentage of planning applications submitted online.
We calculate that 38.2% of planning applications were submitted online compared with a previous high of 36.6%.
The North East stands out as the leading region with more than 47% of applications submitted online whilst more than 20% of authorities across the country received more than half their applications online.
All this set against a background of fairly slow progress in 2009 reflecting the overall downturn in the number of applications submitted.
