What these figures count. Approval rates and decision times cover decisions on schemes only: an application that was approved or refused. Tree-work notices, discharge of conditions, minor amendments, certificates of lawfulness, prior approvals, advertisement consents, pre-application advice and screening opinions are left out, because they are not a yes or no on a scheme. We still hold them and they still appear in search. Withdrawn and unclear outcomes are not counted. The figures describe a council's record over the last two years. They do not predict a single application.
In short
We have read 6 decided applications at Chesterfield Borough Council so far and need at least 10 before we publish a rate. That is our own collection, not the council's full record, and it grows as we read more.

Where these figures come from
Worked out from 98 applications we have read from Chesterfield Borough Council's own public planning register, with decisions between 16 September 2026 and 6 November 2026. Last read 8 November 2026. Status: Live and current. Refusal reasons read from 0 of 3 refusals; we have not read the rest yet. A rate needs at least 10 decided applications. Withdrawn and unclear outcomes are not counted, and neither are tree-work notices, discharges of conditions, minor amendments, certificates of lawfulness, advertisement consents or prior-approval notices, which are not decisions on a scheme. These are the applications we have read, not the council's full archive. The council's own record is the official source — its planning register. Planning data is public sector information under the Open Government Licence v3.0.
