32% of applications still shown as pending in REPD were submitted more than two years ago, and only 37% of pending records were updated in the last 12 months, so some of them may already have been decided. Projects belong to Stratford-on-Avon by location (nearest postcode to the REPD grid reference); decisions are counted by the planning authority named in REPD.
