Planning appeals in Hertfordshire County Council
An allowed appeal is one the council lost. Some kinds of appeal succeed far more often than others, so Hertfordshire County Council is compared with the national rate for its own mix.
Hertfordshire County Council, raw rate
55%
of judged appeals were allowed
Expected for this mix of appeals
49.7%

150 appeals counted, 20 judged either way (11 allowed, 9 dismissed), 130 judged neither way. These are appeals decided 2016-08 to 2026-03.

How we calculate this
Judged means allowed or dismissed. Withdrawn, invalid, split and unrecorded appeals are counted but never treated as appeals the council won. Expected applies the national rate for each appeal type to this council's own caseload. National rates by type are in The State of UK Planning.
