Sources & method
- [1]Applications, approval rate and borough breakdown — the London planning applications on which this firm is the named agent, from borough planning registers and published decision notices, 2012–26. The consultant is the COMPANY (a firm filing under several individuals is merged to the firm). "Named agent" means whoever submitted the application to the council — where a separate agent files on behalf of the actual architect or designer, that design credit isn't captured here; this reflects who submitted, not necessarily who designed. Approval rate = approved ÷ (approved + refused), substantive decisions only. · methodology
- [2]Case-officer and developer pairings — the named case officer and applicant company on each of this firm’s register records, joined to their own live profiles. Pairing patterns, not endorsements. · methodology
- [3]Policies argued are coded from each officer report and decision notice against the adopted Local Plan, London Plan and NPPF — publishes with decision-notice ingestion. · methodology
Methodology is published in full so every number is traceable to its primary source.
