Worcester planning appeals
Only 13 appeals were decided against Worcester in the year, which is too few to read a rate from.
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
6 householder appeals were decided against Worcester, with 17% allowed. These are extensions, loft conversions and the like, and they are decided under a faster procedure than a full planning appeal.
Against the rest of West Midlands
