Mr Gentleman: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:
I have been advised by my directorate that the information sought is not in an easily retrievable form, and that to collect and assemble the information sought solely for the purpose of answering the question would require a considerable diversion of resources.
In this instance, I do not believe that it would be appropriate to divert resources from other priorities for the purposes of answering the Member’s question.

This financial year (as at 25 September 2019), the authority has received 212 merit track DAs and determined 230. Whilst trends throughout the year can be difficult to predict, the authority expects to receive a similar number of applications to last financial year (1080).
