Withdrawn applications are counted in "decided" but never in a success rate — a withdrawal is usually a redesign, not a refusal. Categories are matched from the application's own wording, so a description mentioning two kinds of work lands in the first that fits.

Planning
What is hardest to get permission for on the Isle of Man?
Applications for two-storey extension are granted 86% of the time, over 101 decisions; porch 98% over 55. Both are high — refusal is rarer here than people assume.

Development
Where is the Isle of Man actually being built?
Douglas accounts for 44% of every new dwelling proposed on the island — 351 of 796.
What would make this wrong: Proposed, not built. One large scheme can carry a whole parish, and a refusal or an abandonment leaves the number standing.

Geography
Which is the dearest road on the Isle of Man?
West Apartments Bridge Road, Douglas — a median of £335,000 across 21 recorded sales. The busiest road on the register is Orchard Apartments Bridson Street with 30.
What would make this wrong: Roads are matched from the register's own address text, so a short prestigious road with few sales can be beaten by a long ordinary one. The median spans the life of the register, not today.
