Where these figures come from
Worked out from 183 applications we have read from Winchester City Council's own public planning register, with decisions between 21 October 2026 and 2 November 2026. Last read 6 November 2026. A rate needs at least 10 decided applications. Withdrawn and unclear outcomes are not counted, and neither are discharges of conditions, minor amendments, certificates of lawfulness or prior-approval notices, which are not decisions on a scheme. These are the applications we have read, not the council's full archive. The council's own record is the official source — its planning register. Planning data is public sector information under the Open Government Licence v3.0.
