A review of application cards, inspection dates and license issue slips finds a gap between the total in the public summary and the conditions recorded at the licensing window at Cinder Hall. The difference does not prove that anyone misstated the file. It shows what the public count leaves out: a single inspector covers three wards during a rain shift.
The application cards, inspection dates and license issue slips lists 51 applications issued or returned with a dated reason; the previous window lists 54. Nazza Wire checked both against public notices checked against the copies households actually received. The source was checked against a second copy held by Nazza Wire. No dated correction to either copy was present when the comparison closed.
The hall posts a total wait. Shopkeepers ask for inspection waits separate from paperwork waits. The office has not supplied a separate measure that would settle the disagreement, so the two explanations remain competing accounts.
This report supports a narrower finding: the count is repeatable, but it is not enough to decide whether a small shop can know how long an application is likely to take.
The board publishes options with paid time, water use or cost shown separately. The Year fifth, cooling weeks window 3 file remains open for its scheduled decision. The office will split its queue into record review and site inspection.
