📋 Gateshead Council uses a structured scoring template
3 formal recommendation options per Urban Design / Consultee response:
  • Refuse
  • Approve
Criteria checklist the officer scores against:
MSGP34 · CS19 · CS15 · MSGP25 · MSGP26 · MSGP24 · CS18 · MSGP37 · MSGP15 · CS16 · CS17 · MSGP29 · MSGP30 · H4 ·
→ Address each criterion explicitly in your Planning Statement / DAS to pre-empt refusal grounds.

⚠️ Data limitations on this profile. Of 34 decisions, 2 (6%) 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 32 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.

📡 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 Withdrawn and pending applications are excluded.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.
