The figures provide a breakdown of applications into a number of different categories, and show the numbers granted and refused within each category. Up to 1993, the figures represented planning applications in each calendar year, but thereafter the format changed to financial years, i.e. 1 April to 31 March each year. The figures for 1993 therefore cover the period 1 January 1993 to 31 March 1994.
Subsequent years are in financial year format.
Water Supply 10.2 Table 10Dl gives the amount of raw water available for public water supply purposes. The figures given in tables 10D2 and 10D3 are for consumption of water. The figures also include leakage from the network of pipes that go to make up the distribution system. Metered demand represents the volume of potable water supplied to industry. Metered water is charged for on the basis of measured volume of water used by the consumer.
