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

7% of applications here are refused.

Wiltshire decided 4,191 applications in the reporting year, and refused about 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 Wiltshire Core Strategy (2015), 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 Wiltshire's own statutory fee is separate and paid by you directly to them.
