Allowed 23 Dismissed 36 Split decision 1

23 allowed and 36 dismissed (59 decided), plus 1 split decision. That is 3.5 percentage points above the national average of 35.5%.

Only 4 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 Split decisions, withdrawn, invalid and undetermined appeals are left out.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.
