I'm intrigued to know how the 65 / 35 was arrived at?

If the application is clearly not in accordance with the local authority's planning policies, which are derived from government guidelines, then the Planning Inspector will have to dismiss the appeal.

As far as the Planning Inspectorate are concerned, local opposition, however many people are involved in a campaign, is immaterial unless the reasons relate to policy breaches.

It would appear that, like some of us, the landlord also rates Domino's chances of success as much lower than 35%.
