I am writing to request information regarding heat pump planning applications in your area.
Could you please provide the following information for each year from 2015 to the most recent year with available data:
• The total number of heat pump planning applications received by your council broken down by heat pump type (e.g. water source, air source, ground source, shared loop ground source).
• The number of heat pump planning applications that were granted broken down by heat pump type (e.g. water source, air source, ground source, shared loop ground source).
• The average time taken to process a heat pump planning application, from submission to approval broken down by heat pump type (e.g. water source, air source, ground source, shared loop ground source) including specifying the longest and shortest timeframe.
If it is not possible to complete the above request broken down by heat pump type, please omit this part of the request and instead provide the overall figures of all heat pumps.
If it is not possible to receive information as far back as 2015, please start with the oldest year on record.
If it is not possible to complete all of the requests, please prioritize them in the order listed above.
