The Government has also recently published data on local planning authorities' timeliness in determining minor applications in live tables p153 and p154.

For example 77% of major applications were determined on time in October to December 2014, compared with 57% in July to September 2012.</p> answering member constituency Great Yarmouth answering member printed Brandon Lewis question first answered 26/03/2015 15:56:31 answering member 4009 label Biography information for Sir Brandon Lewis
