Planning permissions for more than 6,000 homes have been
granted after inspectors upheld appeals where councillors had rejected
applications against officers’ advice. Research by planning consultancy
Lichfields found challenges to claims that an area had the required five-year
supply of land for housebuilding were the most common grounds raised.
Lichfields looked at 78 appeals in Great Britain in 2017 where applications for
developments of at least 50 homes – and totalling 10,000 homes in all – were
rejected contrary to officers’ recommendations. It said 65% of appeals were
allowed, equivalent to some 6,000 homes. By contrast, only 40% of appeals were
allowed where officers had recommended refusal. Read more on Inside Housing.
