London’s refusal map.
Where the published record has the lowest and highest approval rates. Borough case mix differs, so this is not a claim that the same scheme would receive a different answer. Use the type and year filters to make closer comparisons.
Filter approval by scheme type and year, compare any two boroughs, and watch the free map recolour live — with real data, not an estimate.
Unlock with Pro →Lowest approval first. 18 boroughs approve fewer than 4 in 5. Click any for its full record.
The policies most often cited verbatim in the parsed London refusal notices. These are citation counts, not a coded taxonomy of “design” or “overdevelopment” — we show what the available notices actually say.
From 205,098 decision notices parsed London-wide. Coverage varies by borough — see each borough's committee page for its own refusal citations where coverage is high enough to publish.
