The Scottish Government has recently released statistics for quarter four of 2011/2012.
For non-major applications, the proportion decided within two months was:-
Aberdeenshire – 62%
Highlands – 62.3%
Moray – 56.2%
This compares to a national average of 65.1%. Approval rates were also below the national average of 91.3%:-
Aberdeenshire – 88.1%
Highlands – 90.3%
Moray – 85.2%
In light of the figures above, the importance of putting together a well prepared application cannot be stressed enough. A good design, the correct supporting documents and fees, as well as accurate plans can help speed up the planning process and increase your chances of a successful application.
