LPA Profile
What we hold on a single planning authority: appeal behaviour, what they refuse on, which policies they cite, and how current their local plan is. For the national league table and 47-year statistical history, see Council Performance.
Camden London Borough Council
GSS E09000007 · Portal: custom (untested) · council register
How this council decides
Measured against the published determination target on 419 decisions. Average window from valid date to target: 103 days (the statutory period is 56 days for most applications, 91 for majors).
The target here has usually already been extended. 26% of these applications carry a target more than 100 days after validation. Hitting that target is not the same as determining within the statutory period, so the percentages below describe performance against a renegotiated date — not against the 8-week clock.

from valid to decision
Read the deadline figures here with care. This authority's published target sits well beyond the statutory period — on average 103 days from the valid date against a 56-day (8-week) statutory period — which means the target has typically already been extended. Meeting it is not the same as determining on time. In practice a decision takes about 126 days from validation.

What "after the target" means. Published data cannot distinguish an agreed extension of time from a target that was simply missed — both appear the same way. This measures when the decision was issued relative to the statutory target, and nothing more. Deadline data is currently available for London authorities only.

Councils with data on file
On the numbers. The refusal rate, officers and agents here are computed from the applications PlanningCore has collected for this authority — for most councils that is a recent sample rather than the full register, and the date range above tells you which. The appeal overturn rate comes from Planning Inspectorate decisions and covers a much longer period. Use the national statistics page for complete, official volumes.
