Allowed 70 Dismissed 115 Split decisions 5

70 allowed and 115 dismissed (185 decided), plus 5 split decisions. That is 2.3 percentage points above the national average of 35.5%.

Only 15 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 Split decisions, withdrawn, invalid and undetermined appeals are left out.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.
