When a planning application is refused by a local council, the applicant has the right to appeal to the Planning Inspectorate (PINS). An independent inspector reviews the case and decides whether to allow or dismiss the appeal. This database contains over 120,000 planning and enforcement appeal decisions from the last 10 years, published under the Open Government Licence v3.0.
Searching for similar appeals in your area can help you understand how likely your own appeal is to succeed, or whether an application you are concerned about might be overturned. On average, around 24% of planning appeals are allowed nationally, but this varies significantly by council, development type, and local circumstances.
