What sense does "per application" make?
It's not an indicator of the permissivity of housing starts because for the most part zoning rules are well-known and you're simply not going to apply if you know you're not going to be approved.

That's not helpful information though. My point is if the housing starts are prohibited by zoning laws, they are not going to show up as rejected because no builder would apply in the first place.
