Under-resourced and ill-equipped planning system failing to tackle Scotland’s escalating housing emergency
Average processing times increasing whilst volume of major and local applications continue to fall
New planning application statistics published today illustrate a planning service which is under-resourced and ill-equipped to deal with Scotland’s escalating housing emergency according to sector body Homes for Scotland (HFS). The figures covering the period for the financial year 2023 / 2024 show that, despite a 29% decrease in the volume of major housing applications decided, the average processing timeframe has increased from 39 to 60 weeks compared to the previous year. As a benchmark, the statutory timeframe for these decisions is 16 weeks.
