Planning appeals in Ards and North Down Borough Council

Ards and North Down Borough Council is not in England, so the Planning Inspectorate does not decide its planning appeals. They are decided by Planning Appeals Commission (PAC). SiteLens holds that body’s own record, shown below. It is not comparable with the Inspectorate’s England figures, which are decided under different legislation, so it is read against that nation’s rate instead.

SiteLens is still collecting the Planning Appeals Commission's record, and a rate taken part-way through would reflect which parts have been collected rather than how Ards and North Down Borough Council fares. The counts above are what is held so far and will rise. The counts above are published either way.

Source: the Planning Appeals Commission, read from its own published case record. Still being collected, so the counts are a floor and will rise.

Money behind development in Ards and North Down Borough Council

Developer contributions at Ards and North Down Borough Council

Ards and North Down Borough Council collects contributions from developers under planning obligations, but we do not yet hold its register in a form we can publish figures from. Only a minority of authorities publish one we can read, and this is not one of them, so we show nothing rather than a figure we cannot stand behind.

About Ards and North Down Borough Council

Ards and North Down Borough Council is a local planning authority responsible for processing planning applications within its area. Applications are submitted through the council's planning portal and cover a wide range of development types, from householder extensions and change of use to large-scale residential and commercial schemes.

SiteLens tracks the Ards and North Down Borough Council planning register daily and enriches every new application automatically. Each is AI-classified by category and trade, given an estimated value band and a plain-English project brief, mapped, and checked against constraint flags like flood zones, conservation areas and green belt. Where an application names an agent, SiteLens shows the firm and matches companies to Companies House. Pro adds the applicant's name, the directors and company health behind each match, and the agent's direct email and phone where the council or firm publishes them, so you know who to speak to about the scheme.

You can also browse the council's own planning register on the official Ards and North Down Borough Council planning portal.
