Methodology
Every row is a verbatim sentence read from the named source's own page through our fetch service on the date shown, hash-pinned to the stored read (the sha of the page's visible text; the raw page is mirrored to R2).
4 of the 34 named sources that could be read published a usable figure; 30 published none and are recorded as not published, never filled in; 0 could not be read (blocked, dead or unreachable) and count nowhere.
The headline figures (median, minimum, maximum, quartiles) are over ONE figure per source in GBP (a source's median where its page yielded several accepted sentences), so N counts sources, never sentences; 97 candidate sentence(s) were refused by a reviewer with the reason recorded.
The fuller derivation this dataset is chartered to grow into (not yet what the figures above are; they are each source's own published figure as read): one row per UK nation per rule and per fee, each quoted verbatim from that nation's own instrument or authority page with its effective date: whether consent is needed, the deemed-consent class and its size, height, projection and illumination limits, the application fee, the statutory decision period, and what a listed building or conservation area adds; the cross-nation comparison - the same sign is free in one nation and a GBP357 application in another - is the figure, and nobody publishes it in one place because each nation publishes only itself; changed-since each read, which is the news on a fee-uprating April
97 candidate sentences on these pages were refused by a reviewer; each refusal and its reason is recorded in the review ledger.
