PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
(10 December 2024)

Question Asked

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, how much funding has been allocated to local authority planning departments in each of the last ten financial years.

Asked by:
Ben Goldsborough (Labour)

Answer

The majority of funding in the Local Government Finance Settlement is unringfenced recognising that local leaders are best placed to identify local priorities.

Local authorities routinely publish their spending information in Revenue Outturn data, which includes information on how much money they have spent on planning services. The latest Revenue Outturn information can be found on gov.uk here: Local authority revenue expenditure and financing England: 2022 to 2023 individual local authority data - outturn - GOV.UK
