Decided applications: the evidence pack for each

2,530 UK battery storage, solar and wind applications were decided in the last two years: 252 refused and 2,278 granted. For any of them, the full planning evidence pack is free to read: every comparable incident, the incidents near the site, the planning context and the questions it raises.

Each pack is made when it is opened, from the register as it stands that day. It is not the evidence that was before the council or the inspector, and the register takes no side on any scheme. For an application still in planning, the pack is made to order.
