Planning appeals in Merthyr Tydfil County Borough Council
Merthyr Tydfil County Borough Council is not in England, so the Planning Inspectorate does not decide its planning appeals. They are decided by Planning and Environment Decisions Wales (PEDW). SiteLens holds that body’s own record, read against that nation’s rate instead.
SiteLens is still collecting PEDW's record, so a rate now would reflect which parts have been collected, not how Merthyr Tydfil County Borough Council fares.
Source: PEDW's own published case record. Still being collected, so the counts are a floor.
The Inspectorate does run some functions beyond England, and its record holds 1 case for Merthyr Tydfil County Borough Council: Rights of Way Opposed Orders. Those are not planning appeals and are not counted as any measure of this council.
