Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, how many applications were submitted for household extensions in (a) 2023-24 and (b) 2024-25.

The Department publishes a quarterly statistical release entitled ‘Planning applications in England’, which includes figures on ‘larger household extensions’ permitted development right decisions, as well as on ‘householder development’ decisions. Data for the periods 2023-24 to 2024-25 are available in the PS2 open data, here.

The Department does not collect applications data for either of these, and the category ‘householder developments’ includes household extensions and other types of householder development.
