Allowed 38 Dismissed 83 Split decision 1

38 allowed and 83 dismissed (121 decided), plus 1 split decision. That is 4.1 percentage points below the national average of 35.5%.

Only 7 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 Split decisions, withdrawn, invalid and undetermined appeals are left out.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.
