Householder applications submitted from 1st February 2025
The Planning team will be striving to determine all householder applications within the 8 week statutory timeframe. This means that we will no longer look to enter into Extensions of Time agreements for householder applications received after 1st February 2025. As a department, we will continue work with applicants and agents proactively, and when required, we will seek minor amendments within an agreed timeframe that enables us to meet the 8 week deadline (where re-consultation is not required).
