Planning appeals in Scottish Borders Council
Scottish Borders Council is not in England, so the Planning Inspectorate does not decide its planning appeals. They are decided by Scottish Government Planning and Environmental Appeals Division (DPEA). SiteLens holds that body’s own record, read against that nation’s rate instead.
SiteLens is still collecting the DPEA's record, so a rate now would reflect which parts have been collected, not how Scottish Borders Council fares.
Source: the DPEA's own published case record. Still being collected, so the counts are a floor.
