Majority of residential planning applications tend to fall under the category of ‘Householder’. Decisions on these types of work usually take between 8 – 10 weeks from submission.
Timing does vary between projects, and each project is different. But Ellis+Company are deeply familiar with local council and planning processes. Working with the right consultant is the key to a well planned application – saving you time and unnecessary stress.
Once the application is granted, local authorities can impose ‘conditions’ on their decision for planning approval.
- Conditions can be imposed on any stage of work
- Read carefully and understand how they affect the proposed work
- Start with any pre-commencement conditions
- Conditions that require additional information must be discharged within requirement.
- You can appeal or apply for removal / alteration of a condition you don’t agree with.
If you haven’t received a decision on your application by the 16th week since submission, you may be eligible for total or partial application fee refund
The planning guarantee ONLY applies to applicants who have not discussed an extension of time and/or they have had little to no contact from their local authority.
