Withdrawn applications are counted in "decided" but never in a success rate — a withdrawal is usually a redesign, not a refusal.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 records are a paper trail: an approval means permission was granted, not that the work was carried out. Our copy is refreshed nightly (last read 2026-08-20); for the live position on a specific application, go to Isle of Man planning applications.
