A case officer at City Of London with an approval rate of 94% across 91 decided planning applications, spanning 21 wards.[1] Decision speed and appeal performance publish when decision notices are ingested.
Not filled in yet — this needs at least 20 of Samuel James's own officer reports parsed, and their reports haven't reached that threshold in the parsing run. It fills automatically as parsing progresses; nothing is estimated in its place.
The policies this officer cites most across their decisions — how often each appears, and whether refusals citing it survive appeal.
In development — policy citations are coded from officer reports, and that parsing hasn't run for City Of London yet. Nothing is shown until it is real.
