The decision types were provided by the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government, except for "Rejected Total" which we calculated by summing the three different types of rejection decisions.
37
Totals may not equal the sum of components because of rounding (this note was provided by the source).
38
Totals include estimated data to account for non-response (this note was provided by the source).

The original data is published on the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government open data portal.

The % change could not be provided for local authorities as the figures are, in many cases, too small to be compared.
