I work for a relatively large county and your estimate of 20 per year is way under. So far this month, I have issued 6 briefs. I think I issue about 8-10 a month. I would suggest that at least half of these will result in fieldwork. I am also not the only development control officer working in the county.
I have just nipped away to check the records and the smallest borough I cover, which must be one of the smallest in the country, has had, on average, about 25 PPG 16 interventions per year since 2000. Despite my name, this does not include any works on historic buildings.
