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 Wren does here

9.9% of applications here are refused.

South Hams decided 1,096 applications in the reporting year, and refused about 9.9% 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 South Hams's own statutory fee is separate and paid by you directly to them.
