Mansfield in Nottinghamshire includes Mansfield town, Warsop, and Forest Town. Planning focuses on urban regeneration, residential growth, and commercial schemes. Known for historic market towns and industrial heritage, development is primarily urban-focused.
In the last year Mansfield decided 304 applications which is well below the national average of 988. The approval rate was 96% (marginally above the national average of 88%) and 50% of applications were decided on time, (significantly below the national average of 59%). Stats updated March 2026 from gov. sources. See how Mansfield performs relative to other LPAs in our LPA hub.
