Decision times can't be measured here — Wiltshire doesn't publish both a received and a decision date on enough records. The nationwide range across councils that do is 31 to 299 days.

What Wiltshire 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 Wiltshire actually provides each one, across all 27,491 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 Wiltshire actually fill in?" and get these same numbers back. How to connect →

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