What the data tells us

1
A – gap separates the best and worst wards. Ward 2 Forth & Endrick approves – of applications while Ward 6 Stirling East approves just –. That's a fundamentally different planning environment.
2
High volume doesn't mean high approval. Some of the busiest wards aren't the most permissive. The number of applications a ward processes tells you nothing about how likely yours is to succeed.
3
