Introduction
Our Regional Market Report series examines how each local planning authority (LPA) is performing in the Midlands.
In this report, we’ll be taking a look at a variety of metrics ranging from planning targets to demographic breakdowns.

LPA Performance
To measure the performance of the Local Planning Authorities within the region we have recorded the following metrics:
- Population data
- Housing Delivery (with data drawn from the 2021 Housing Delivery Test);
- Established 5YHLS
- The average determination period for different types of application
- The overall approval ratio planning applications
- The percentage of major planning application refusals that are overturned on appeal
Results for individual LPAs are available to download here (we're uploading these are they're completed - if you'd like us to prioritise a particular LPA, please let us know.)
