Medway Council spent the most among respondents, with a total of 680,000 over the three-year period surveyed.
A fifth of councils spent more than double the national average each year .
Planning Inspectorate received 155,000 housing appeals in three years .
Of these, 73,000 dwellings were allowed by the agency.
