Method
Approval rate = approved ÷ (approved + refused) over the public planning decisions we hold for BCP, matched to a type of work from the application description. We lead with the last few years so the figure reflects how BCP decides today, with the longer record as context. A rate is only shown once there are enough decided applications for it to be reliable. We publish aggregate figures only, never an individual application or applicant name. Read the full method and limits.
