answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/04/2023 answer text <p>The average time taken to process applications in each year between 2015 and 2023 is shown below. This covers applications across Water Abstraction, Discharge to Water, Waste and Industrial Processes. There is a widely varying level of complexity in the applications determined which means drawing statistical comparisons across such a wide range doesn’t accurately account for the different requirements.</p><p>It is important to note that many application types have seen legislative change and increases in complexity during this time period, making year on year comparison difficult. The Environment Agency have seen a reduction in application quality during this time, requiring additional processing by their permitting department. Backlogs were built up during 2020 and 2021 during the pandemic which the Environment Agency have now largely recovered and they expect 2023/24 to see a reduction in average times. <br> <br> Year Average of KPI3 (Days):</p><p><br> 2015 - 41<br> 2016 - 53<br> 2017 - 64<br> 2018 - 60<br> 2019 - 72<br> 2020 - 89<br> 2021 - 85<br> 2022 - 106<br> 2023 - 107</p> answering member constituency Taunton Deane answering member printed Rebecca Pow question first answered 28/04/2023 08:10:45 answering member 4522 label Biography information for Rebecca Pow
