Mr. Dave Walsh:

No. In fact, if anything, the figures show that some of the higher rates where decisions by the local authority are overturned are spread around the country, both in an urban and a rural context. The statistics are there. It is useful for the local authorities themselves to understand the context in which those decisions are taken and how they were taken in the first place.
