What Derry and Strabane actually fills in

A "field" is one piece of information on an application — the decision date, the applicant's name, the address. Councils fill these in inconsistently, so this table measures how often Derry and Strabane actually provides each one, across all 3,095 records. Anything listed as reliable you can count on; anything lower, check the council's own record before relying on it.
