What the data tells us

1
A 22.9% gap separates the best and worst wards. Oakley & The Candovers approves 94.9% of applications while Brighton Hill approves just 72.0%. That's a fundamentally different planning environment.
2
High volume doesn't mean high approval. Some of the busiest wards aren't the most permissive. The number of applications a ward processes tells you nothing about how likely yours is to succeed.
3
Ward averages are a starting point, not a guarantee. Your specific outcome depends on your property, your neighbours, your proposal type and the comparable decisions near your address.
