94% of the 31 applications decided in Filton, South Gloucestershire, between July 2026 and October 2026, were approved; across South Gloucestershire, 50% of the refusals read were refused at least in part over design or the character of the area. Plan Forecast, 4 November 2026.
Across South Gloucestershire: what refusals were about
Of the 42 refusals whose decision notices we read, the share that gave a reason about each.
- Design and character of the area 50% That the work suits the house and the street: its size, its shape, its roof and its materials.
- Not permitted development 21% That the work fits the permitted development route applied under: inside its limits and conditions and, where the council's prior approval is needed, acceptable on the matters it may judge, such as the neighbours. Work beyond the limits needs a planning application.
- Living conditions for future occupiers 19% That whoever will live there has enough room, light, outlook and outdoor space.
South Gloucestershire as a whole granted a comparable share across 652 decisions. See the whole council.
