What Wren does here
12.6% of applications here are refused.
Manchester decided 2,025 applications in the reporting year, and refused about 12.6% 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 this authority's own 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 Manchester's own statutory fee is separate and paid by you directly to them.
