Planning data

Three Rivers

What the public record actually shows for Three Rivers. Every figure below is measured or published, with its sample and its date. Nothing here is an estimate, and none of it predicts what a particular application will do.

How long decisions took

Median weeks from validation to decision, counted from the council’s own register. A median means half of decisions took longer, so it is a middle, not a target.

Application typeMedianDecisions counted
Major schemes23.9 weeks33
All other applications6.9 weeks123

Measured over applications decided 01/07/2024 to 13/07/2026.

Housing Delivery Test

Three Rivers measured 30% in the 2023 Housing Delivery Test — consequence: Presumption.

Published by MHCLG on 2024-12-12. This is the most recent measurement published, not a current-year figure, and it is the number that determines whether the presumption in favour of sustainable development is engaged.

What this page is not

It does not tell you what constrains a particular site in Three Rivers. Designations sit on land, not on councils. For that, run a free check on the site itself: it names every designation on or beside the boundary, states when each dataset was last collected, and says plainly where a record is not published rather than showing you a clear result.
