Against the country
More permissive 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).

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
10.3% of applications here are refused.
Salford decided 937 applications in the reporting year, and refused about 10.3% 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 Salford Local 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 Salford's own statutory fee is separate and paid by you directly to them.
