Mr. Dave Walsh:

The board does not analyse or try to work through why the numbers are high. That might be a matter for the councils themselves to consider and address. We provide the detail through our annual statistics. I would say that looking at the numbers over 10% in those four locations, we would expect to see developments in a built-up area, whether they are housing or other types of development, and indeed, where there are higher populations and greater concentrations, there may well be more appeals.
