Please may I request the following information:

1. The number of full-time equivalent (FTE) planning department case officers employed by the council in each year between 2013 and 2022.
We do not hold this information. The Council have undergone restructures since the time periods specified and has meant that different job roles were part of the service. We do not hold information pre 2018 either, and would need clairty on what would be covered by 'planning department case officers'.

2. The number of major planning applications determined by the council in each year between 2013 and 2022.
Information on numbers and speed of determination of major planning applications is available on the Government web site: https://www.gov.uk/government/statistical-data-sets/live-tables-on-planning-application-statistics

3. The average number of weeks between major planning applications being validated and determined, in each year between 2013 and 2022.
