4. Processing Agreements
Some local authorities use processing agreements where the developer and the local authority agree on timescales for decisions. Applications subject to a processing agreement are not included in average decision time calculations and are reported separately.
In the first six months of 2019/20 there were 1,219 applications decided that had processing agreements, 134 fewer than in the same period in the previous year.
In quarter one 6.8% of all applications (606 of 8,905) had processing agreements, in quarter two this increased to 6.9% (613 of 8,891) of all applications having a processing agreement.
