22 allowed and 61 dismissed (83 decided), plus 2 split decisions. That is 9.0 percentage points below the national average of 35.5%.

Only 14 Householder decisions in the last 12 months (we need 20 for a recent figure), so this covers all years.

Allowed ÷ (allowed + dismissed). Split decisions, withdrawn, invalid and undetermined appeals are left out. Based on completed records in the Appeal Scout archive, which runs a little behind today's date because decisions are added after publication.
