Scottish Government announcement positive opportunity for planning reset on housing, say home builders
“Overdue” measures to ensure “tangible results in next 12 months”
Home building body Homes for Scotland (HFS) has welcomed this afternoon’s announcement on planning by the Minister for Public Finance Ivan McKee MSP. This follows yesterday’s statistics showing that the average processing time for major residential applications had increased to 60 weeks despite a 29 per cent fall in the volume of applications. The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) also identified the planning system as limiting levels of home building due to lack of predictability; length, cost and complexity of the process; and insufficient clarity and consistency in its market study final report earlier this year.

Under-resourced and ill-equipped planning system failing to tackle Scotland’s escalating housing emergency
Average processing times increasing whilst volume of major and local applications continue to fall
New planning application statistics published today illustrate a planning service which is under-resourced and ill-equipped to deal with Scotland’s escalating housing emergency according to sector body Homes for Scotland (HFS). The figures covering the period for the financial year 2023 / 2024 show that, despite a 29% decrease in the volume of major housing applications decided, the average processing timeframe has increased from 39 to 60 weeks compared to the previous year. As a benchmark, the statutory timeframe for these decisions is 16 weeks.
