💡 Officer Intelligence works best inside your planning journey — open or create your case there and your documents and site data fill this in for you.

🕵️ Case Officer Intelligence

Go beyond authority-level data. Understand individual case officer behaviour — approval rates, decision speed, refusal patterns, and what they focus on. Intelligence your competitors don't have.

⚠️ Data limitations on this profile. Of 10 decisions, 1 (10%) have outcomes that couldn't be cleanly classified as approved or refused (e.g. "decided", "advice given", non-material amendments). The approval rate below is calculated from only the 9 clearly approved/refused decisions.

Known data gaps: our Idox scrape covers Gateshead, Sunderland, and Northumberland from late 2023 onwards. Newcastle Upon Tyne data is NOT in our corpus (the council's planning portal blocks IONOS shared-hosting IPs). If you're looking for a Newcastle case officer, their decisions won't appear here even if the officer name matches.

🧠 Strategy Insight

This officer has a moderate approval rate (88.9%). They exercise reasonable scrutiny. Pay close attention to the application types they refuse most frequently (see breakdown above) and ensure your submission thoroughly addresses likely concerns.

What Makes This Different

PlanningCore Exclusive

⏱️ Decision Speed Profile

Average days to decision per officer. Know if your officer is fast (under 8 weeks) or chronically slow — and plan your timeline accordingly.

Officer-level granularity

🚫 Refusal Pattern Analysis

What does this officer refuse on most? Design? Highways? Amenity? Heritage? Know their focus areas and address them proactively.

Deep refusal analytics

⚖️ Appeal Overturn Rate

How often are this officer's refusals overturned on appeal? A high overturn rate suggests the officer is too strict — useful for your appeal strategy.

📡 Data Pipeline

Officer intelligence is generated from planning application decision data. As more authorities are ingested into PlanningCore, officer profiles become richer and more accurate.

📊 Data sources & freshness

planning_applications.case_officer (updated Daily ingest)
Live ingest from LPA portals (Idox + Civica + Northgate). Coverage varies by council — leading LPAs publish on every record, others publish only on committee reports.
Approval rate calculation
approvals / (approvals + refusals) per officer. Withdrawn and pending applications are excluded.
Date window
Stats reflect the entire decision history for the officer, not a rolling window. Recent volume changes can shift the averages.

About this tool: Case Officer Intelligence

Individual case officer profiling — approval rates, decision speed, refusal patterns, appeal overturn rates, and tailored submission strategy advice.

When to use it

Use when you know which officer is assigned to your case, or to research officer behaviour in an authority before submitting. Deep officer behaviour analytics exclusive to PlanningCore.

Policy and guidance it draws on

Data-driven analysis of individual officer decision patterns

Part of Authority Intelligence

Use these tools to understand how your Local Planning Authority behaves — what they approve, what they refuse, how often appeals succeed, and what strategy gives you the best chance. This is behavioural intelligence, not just policy research.

Guidance to help you prepare — not formal planning advice. Check the current policy text and your council's local plan before relying on it.
