What Wren does here

7.7% of applications here are refused.

Forest of Dean decided 576 applications in the reporting year, and refused about 7.7% of them. A refusal is usually a document problem rather than a scheme problem: the policy that governs it was not addressed, or the evidence it asks for was not there.

Wren drafts against Forest of Dean Allocations Plan, a chartered planner reads the draft and signs it under their own indemnity, and a case manager files it and chases it. A householder application is £499, and Forest of Dean's own statutory fee is separate and paid by you directly to them.
