What the data tells us

1
A 16.0% gap separates the best and worst wards. Hinckley DeMontfort approves 98.7% of applications while Cadeby Carlton M Bosworth & Shackerstone approves just 82.7%. 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.
