Your planning decision
Have a refusal decision?
The planned private review will let you bring in the planning authority’s decision notice, identify the disputed points and compare source-located Inspector reasoning from relevant appeals.
Ordering is not open
Evidence to inspect, not a prediction of your outcome.

Planning Inspectorate casework
Householder and condition appeal evidence across five years
Across 1 July 2021 to 30 June 2026, this England-only rolling snapshot links 166 selected, decided Planning Inspectorate casework records to Telford & Wrekin Council. Of these, 27 unique records appear in the householder or precise planning-condition evidence below.
The linked-casework count is the denominator used below, not a count of planning applications. The source can include specialist casework as well as appeals.
Official Householder (HAS) casework
Householder appeals
These are records whose official casework type is exactly Householder (HAS). That type can include different decision contexts, so use the underlying record to check what was disputed in each case. These outcomes do not predict what will happen in another appeal.

How to read householder decisions
Allowed means the Inspector allowed the appeal. Dismissed means the Inspector dismissed it. The label alone does not say whether the dispute was a refusal, an imposed condition or another matter; open the record for that context. The comparison rate uses these two clear outcomes only.
