What this means if you are objecting

With a sample this small, the percentage would move several points on a single decision, so we have not quoted one. The England figure below is the better guide.

Householder appeals

No householder appeals against Tamworth were decided in the year. These are extensions, loft conversions and the like, appealed under a faster procedure than a full planning appeal.

Against the rest of West Midlands

Across West Midlands, inspectors allowed 39% of planning appeals on average. Tamworth is a shire district.
