Housing: Urban Areas
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what data his Department holds on the number of houses in urban areas which have been rejected for planning permission since 4 July 2024.
Answered by Matthew Pennycook
The proportions of planning applications that have been rejected in each of the past five years in England and in London can be derived from the data available in the PS2 time series section of the interactive planning application statistics dashboard, available here.
They can also be derived from the detailed data held in PS2 open data file on gov.uk here.
My Department does not hold the information on political control needed to provide the requested breakdown of figures by controlling political party in each of the last five years.
