Planning Inspectors past performance on Planning Appeal Decisions

Ever been dismayed to see your planning application allocated to a development management officer with reputation for refusing development? The sad fact of life is that not all officers are the same. The question is, does the same apply to planning inspectors?

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.

The Planning Inspectorate's annual statistics for each individual Planning Inspector are reproduced below so you can see the % appeals allowed by your appointed Inspector over 12 months. Please note this is only a reliable indicator where there are a significant number of appeals. The smaller the number of appeals, the less useful is the data. For example, if the number of appeals is less than 10 in any one category, the results will reflect the nature of the individual appeals more than the individual inspector. 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.

It’s worth looking at previous appeal Decisions made by your nominated Inspector on developments similar to your own case, as it may highlight your Inspector’s thinking processes. For example, one Inspector may have a particular focus on design issues while another may emphasise landscape impact. It is particularly valuable to look at appeals they have dismissed, before you respond to the LPA’s Statement of Case.

Appeal Finder also has a table showing the % allowed by local planning authority, by type of appeal, available here.

Table 1. Appeals allowed by individual planning inspectors for 2023/2024

* Appeal Planning Officers inform a more senior Inspector's decision. It is the Inspector who is identified as the decision maker in Appeal Finder's pull-down list of Inspectors. This results in different totals compared to PINS table below. In addition, the total 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). 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.

* 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.
