Full approval rate in St Helens
Approval rate withheld for St Helens. PlanningLens is temporarily withholding the headline approval rate for this council. Refusals appear materially undercaptured in the published record, so an approval rate computed from it would overstate approval. This does not mean the previously shown percentage has been proved wrong. No official statistic is substituted in its place. Approval, refusal and rate figures are shown as – throughout this page. Decision volumes are unaffected and are still published. Why we withhold a rate
