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.
Hounslow London Borough Council
GSS E09000018 · Portal: enterprisestore (untested) · council register
How this council decides
Measured against the published determination target on 648 decisions. Average window from valid date to target: 78 days (the statutory period is 56 days for most applications, 91 for majors).
(4+ days before target)
(final 3 days)
from valid to decision
This authority runs to the wire: most decisions land in the last few days before the statutory target. Chasing before then rarely brings a decision forward.

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.
