What Eastbourne decides

We can't calculate an approval rate for Eastbourne: it doesn't publish a usable decision on enough of its applications. That's a gap in what the council makes available, not a sign that nothing is decided — 9 of the councils we hold are in the same position.

What Eastbourne 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 Eastbourne actually provides each one, across all 2,318 records. Anything listed as reliable you can count on; anything lower, check the council's own record before relying on it.

Once this data is connected to ChatGPT or Claude you can just ask "what information does Eastbourne actually fill in?" and get these same numbers back. How to connect →

Eastbourne's portal has been verified not to publish these fields at all — different from a field that exists but is rarely filled in.
