BSR – Latest Gateway 2 figures
The BSR claims January Gateway 2 figures show “a continuing positive momentum against a backdrop of increasing applications by industry.”
“Overall, Gateway 2 decisions continue to rise, with 698 decisions across all application types since 3 November 2025. The number of live applications of all categories is 1,159.
This follows 2025’s final quarter which saw the highest number of decisions (673) since BSR commenced operations.
68% of all decisions across all Gateway 2 categories related to London cases, with 476 made in the capital over the past 12 weeks. In the 12 weeks to 24 January, 97 Gateway 2 new build applications have had decisions, with 99 new applications received from industry.
New build applications representing 19,600 residential units were received and decisions on 19,914 units issued, with 11,962 approvals. There are currently 37,065 units in live cases.
52 decisions on outstanding legacy cases inherited under the previous model have been made since November, with 29 of them in London. BSR is currently assessing whether the remaining 29 complex legacy cases warrant continued resources, or if they should be rejected to allow for new submissions.”
