Grant rate by category
How each kind of application has been decided in Blessington, 2016–2026.
| Category | Granted | Decided | Nationally |
|---|---|---|---|
| Extension | 98% | 53 | 95% |
“Decided” counts applications granted, refused or part-granted — withdrawn and invalid applications are excluded. Categories with fewer than 30 decided applications are not listed, because a rate over a handful of applications would not mean anything.
