<p> </p><p>Planning is a quasi-judicial process; it is a long-standing feature of
the planning system that there is a right of appeal, just as there are with other
local quasi-judicial decisions such as on licensing applications, gambling applications
or parking fines.</p><p>The table below shows planning appeal decisions by calendar
year. To assist public scrutiny, I have provided comparative figures for a similar
period before 2010.</p><p> </p><table><thead><tr><td><p><em>Council</em></p></td><td><p><em>Calendar

the precise number of appeals will fluctuate from year to year, this table shows that
the absolute number of appeals both (a) received and (b) allowed has fallen in recent
years.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p>
