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

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, how many planning permissions were granted in each of the past five years.

My Department publishes the number of planning applications granted permission per quarter in our quarterly planning applications statistical release which can be found on gov.uk here.

England level data can be found in live table 120 for all planning decisions, and for residential planning decisions in live table 120A.
