The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, how many and what proportion of appeal hearings considered by the Planning Inspectorate were conducted virtually in 2024.

Answered by Alex Norris

The Planning Inspectorate undertakes public hearings and inquiries across all its casework services. Most take place in person, but some are held wholly or partly virtually.

Reliable data on the number and proportion of virtually held events is not available.
