Dear Stroud District Council,
I'm writing to enquire about the following information in relation to your Local Planning Authority.
I would like to know:
• How many planning permission requests were received last year?

• How many planning permission requests were rejected due to protected species?
• Of these, how many were rejected due to: badgers, bats, birds, dormice, newts, invertebrates, natterjack toads, otters, reptiles, water voles, white-clawed crayfish, or other?
Yours faithfully,

Good Afternoon
I write further to my previous email dated 19th April.
Please can you clarify whether you require information on those applications not available through the link below? We will be unable to progress your request until we have received this information.
If we do not hear from you within 3 months, from the submission date of your request, we will assume that you no longer require the information and consider the matter closed.
Kind Regards
