A 12.5% gap separates the best and worst wards. Netherfield Ward 2015 approves 97.9% of applications while Phoenix Ward 2015 approves just 85.4%. That's a fundamentally different planning environment.

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.
