What the data tells us

1
A 25.0% gap separates the best and worst wards. Ebbw Vale North approves 100.0% of applications while Georgetown approves just 75.0%.
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.
