How many planners does it take to write a DPD?

A basic question: how many policy planners are there per DPD in your authority? In mine we're currently progressing 4 documents with either 2 or 2.5 FTE on each - how does that compare with others?

My authority is progressing 4 DPDs with 4 planners. As each planner has other responsibilities, some of which are LDF related i.e. preparing evidence base studies, I am unable to equate DPDs to FTEs.

We currently have 2 FTE in out planning policy section and we are struggling mightily. I don't see this improving anytime soon. In-fact post election I see the policy function being cancelled altogether, falling back on the old adopted local plan, which still has outstanding allocations, the rest being decided by appeal.
