Planning applications drop in 2022

We take a closer look at the number of planning applications in 2022 compared to 2021

The number of planning applications submitted for residential property in England and Wales was 16% lower in the first half of 2022 than in 2021, at 218,640.
Across all regions, application numbers in June were lower than a year ago. The steepest fall was in London at 21%, compared to the South West (12%) and the West Midlands (14%).
Many homeowners sought to adapt their homes in the wake of the pandemic and the 'work from home' requirement. That spike of activity seems to have subsided this year. Consents and prior approvals for larger home extensions fell by 20% and 25% respectively in 2022 versus 2021.
Smaller adaptations and extensions are allowable without planning permission under 'permitted development rights', as long as they adhere to strict conditions.
