Against the country

Harder than the average.

The England benchmark is 87%. It is the share of decided applications that were approved, so a withdrawal counts as neither. Source: MHCLG Live Table P120A (England, rolling 12-month).

The rules here

What this authority decides against.

An application is judged against the adopted development plan unless material considerations say otherwise. This is that plan, and the levy that comes with it.

What Wren does here

22.1% of applications here are refused.

Gloucester decided 447 applications in the reporting year, and refused about 22.1% 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 Local Plan 2011-2031, 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 Gloucester's own statutory fee is separate and paid by you directly to them.
