How Stroud compares
Against the 137 UK authorities with 5+ battery storage decisions, Stroud sits in the 7th percentile for approval rate (17 points below the England average) and the 9th percentile for speed.
Decisions by year
Battery storage decisions by the year the decision was issued (Renewable Energy Planning Database). Withdrawn and still-undecided applications are excluded, so a short bar can mean a quiet year rather than a strict council.

Does Stroud approve battery storage schemes?
Yes — of the 4 battery storage schemes Stroud has decided, 75% were approved (3 granted, 1 refused). The UK-wide rate for battery storage is 92%. Note this is a small caseload, so treat the percentage as indicative rather than statistically robust.
How long does a battery storage scheme application take in Stroud?
The median time from application to decision is 11.9 months, against a UK median of 6 months for battery storage. That is measured between the submission and decision dates recorded in REPD, so it reflects the whole determination period including any extensions.
How much battery storage capacity has Stroud consented?
86 MW has been consented across 3 approved schemes, with 100 MW refused. A further 4 applications awaits a decision.

Approval rate is over decided applications only (approved ÷ approved+refused); withdrawn and undecided schemes are excluded. A permission later expired still counts as approved because consent was granted. REPD covers schemes of roughly 150 kW and above, is published quarterly, and does not record refusal reasons — so nothing here explains why a scheme was refused.
