Planning Inspectors past performance on Planning Appeal Decisions
The table below shows the Planning Inspectorate's annual statistics for each individual Planning Inspector with the % appeals allowed by each Inspector over the 12 months ending 31st March 2025. This is only a reliable indicator where there are a significant number decided. If the number of appeals is less than 10 in any one category, the results reflect the nature of the appeals more than the individual inspector (details at the foot of the page).
Does it matter which Inspector decides your appeal?
Of course every Inspector tries hard to be professional and fair. All Inspectors must abide by rules of impartiality. Nevertheless, Inspectors are human too and naturally each has their own personality, perspective and unique experience of life. Furthermore, the planning system is not a simple matter of applying tick-box assessments and clear rules; subjective judgements are required. Ultimately decision-making is down to the individual. Who the decision maker is does matter.
It’s worth looking at previous appeal Decisions made by your nominated Inspector on developments similar to your own case, before you respond to the LPA’s Statement of Case. A similar table showing % allowed by local planning authority is available here.

Important Notes on interpreting the data
Casework is allocated on the best balance of availability, geography, casework level and expertise. This may produce apparent patterns of outcome that is in fact only an artefact of the way work is allocated. Please bear this in mind when interpreting the % of appeals approved.
The 2024/25 statistics use PINS' Casework Database as published on 11th June 2025 and reflect PINS categorisation of appeals. The 2 categories "planning appeals" and householder appeals cover the majority of appeals, HOWEVER please note the statistics above do NOT include enforcement appeals; advertisement appeals, commercial appeals; lawful development certificate appeals; listed building consent appeals; minerals & waste appeals; s106 agreement appeals. In other words, if PINS have not classified an appeal as a 'planning' or householder appeal, then it is not included in the statistics for 2024/25.
Please note the number of appeals decided is different to the number of documents on Appeal Finder as some appeals have multiple documents (eg. costs decisions) and others have shared documents (eg. linked appeals). For example, an Inspector who dealt with 10 appeals and issued 3 costs decisions will have 13 documents on Appeal Finder but have 10 appeals in the table above.
* Appeal Planning Officers inform a more senior Inspector's decision. Please note Appeal Finder records the Inspector as the decision maker, whereas the PINS table above records members of staff. This results in inconsistencies between the figures on the above PINS table and if you select by Inspector on Appeal Finder. To find appeals by a specific Appeal Planning Officer, type their name into Appeal Finder's search bar instead of using the pull-down list of Inspectors.
