Planning appeals in Torfaen County Borough Council
Torfaen 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 Torfaen County Borough Council fares.
Source: PEDW's own published case record. Still being collected, so the counts are a floor.
