What the data tells us

1
A 6.9% gap separates the best and worst wards. Oadby Brocks Hill Ward approves 85.8% of applications while Wigston Fields Ward approves just 78.9%. 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.
