Extension planning approval in Edinburgh
We show the approval outcome, but not a decision time, because the published dates do not meet our quality checks.
Of 67 extension planning applications decided by Edinburgh on the full public record, 99% were approved. This is the council's track record for this kind of work. It is a useful gauge before you apply, not a guarantee for any one application.

Method
Approval rate = approved ÷ (approved + refused) over the public planning decisions we hold for Edinburgh, matched to a type of work from the application description. We lead with the last few years so the figure reflects how Edinburgh decides today, with the longer record as context. A rate is only shown once there are enough decided applications for it to be reliable. We publish aggregate figures only, never an individual application or applicant name.
