Allowed 48 Dismissed 66

48 allowed and 66 dismissed (114 decided). That is 6.6 percentage points above 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 Split decisions, withdrawn, invalid and undetermined appeals are left out.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.
