county matters" planning applications

Meanwhile, a further 26 councils are set to be placed in special measures on the basis of taking too long to determine major "county matters" planning applications, which broadly relate to minerals and waste, over the two-year period, the figures show.

These are: Derbyshire, Peterborough, Shropshire, Staffordshire, Nottinghamshire, Wiltshire, Barnsley, Peak District National Park, Lancashire, Buckinghamshire, Northumberland, Devon, Dorset, Leicestershire, Hertfordshire, Bath and North East Somerset, Bexley, Bury, Calderdale, Cheshire East, Doncaster, Hartlepool, Hull, Kirklees, Wigan, and the Yorkshire Dales National Park.

Guidance published by the DCLG in June says that local planning authorities at risk of being placed in special measures in the first year of the policy "will be given an opportunity to fill any gaps in the data reported to the department before any designations are confirmed".
