6. Stopping the Clock
Stopping the clock is used where there has been a lengthy delay caused by the applicant or external consultees, outwith the planning authority’s control. This helps produce more accurate performance statistics that would otherwise have been skewed by extreme cases of delay outwith the planning authority’s control.
In 2024/25 there were 2,414 applications where the clock was stopped. The average amount of time stopped was 15.4 weeks. Nine percent of application involved a clock stop ranging from 40.5 percent in West Dunbartonshire to 0.0 in the Cairngorms National Park.
