Limited data for this council.

We hold only 327 applications here. Treat an absent record as "not published to us", never as "no such application".

What Norfolk decides

Norfolk has approved 97.3% of the 148 applications it has decided since January 2023. Across the 225 councils with a comparable caseload the range is 71.37% to 99.14%, so this is at or above the middle of the pack (89.18%).

Decision times can't be measured here — Norfolk doesn't publish both a received and a decision date on enough records. The nationwide range across councils that do is 31 to 299 days.

What Norfolk actually fills in

A "field" is one piece of information on an application — the decision date, the applicant's name, the address. Councils fill these in inconsistently, so this table measures how often Norfolk actually provides each one, across all 327 records. Anything listed as reliable you can count on; anything lower, check the council's own record before relying on it.

Once this data is connected to ChatGPT or Claude you can just ask "what information does Norfolk actually fill in?" and get these same numbers back. How to connect →
