They hate pd and will keep on forgetting to update the max area.Thank you for the clarification. Shame the planning portal is so out of date.

George will have more idea but I think you have clear grounds for an appeal for non- determination and, possibly even a case for judicial review as they haven't followed legal process.Has anybody ever come across a planning officer deciding after 7 months that the planning application was poorly publicised and is going to repost the site notices. The planning officer chose the point in which to fix the notices themselves. Is this even correct? All consulatees came back in the 8 week period with either no comment or no objections. It looks to me like they are desperately trying to come up with a reason to turn the application down. @George from SJM Planning?
It seems like they are trying to pull a fast one, I will try and find guidance on site notices and what is required. Have you looked at the application online? Most council's attach a photo of the notice in position to show it was displayed or do you have any photos of it.Has anybody ever come across a planning officer deciding after 7 months that the planning application was poorly publicised and is going to repost the site notices.

I would respond and ask why they feel it was in the wrong place and why it took 7 months to realise when the application should have been determined in 8.Thank you George sadly I don’t have any photos. The council don’t put pictures on the online portal however they do take photos when they put the notices up. The officer seems to think that she placed them in the wrong place and so now wants to place them again in a different place. I also think that the application should have been advertised in the local press but it was not.
I will do that George thank you.I would respond and ask why they feel it was in the wrong place and why it took 7 months to realise when the application should have been determined in 8.
Don't let them off lightly - 7 months is ridiculous unless it is a major application or very contentiousI will do that George thank you.
8 weeks that is, not months...I would respond and ask why they feel it was in the wrong place and why it took 7 months to realise when the application should have been determined in 8.
Lol8 weeks that is, not months...
How soon should a standard full planning application be determined? They use various tactics around here to delay things but mostly due to lack of staff as far as I can gather.I would respond and ask why they feel it was in the wrong place and why it took 7 months to realise when the application should have been determined in 8.
The determination guidlines state a standard planning application should be determined in 8 weeks. However, most LPA's are understaffed so are not meeting these targets. I am not going to insinuate there are underhand tactics in play but we are finding that validation requirements are being looked at with a magnifying glass, that statutory consultees are not responding in time and changes in case offficers during the application (most are contractors so float from LPA to LPA) are causing delays which can not be solely blamed on the case officer themselves.How soon should a standard full planning application be determined?

8 weeks sounds rather optimistic but 8 months seems rather drawn out (in reality 8 months is optimistic as long as it is a straight forward application)
Is that why it is called a 28 day notice?For a PD application they have 8 weeks to decide (4 to process then 4 to determine) and failure to do so automatically entitles the applicant to go ahead.
It used to be called a 28 day notice. Now it is called Prior Approval and yes, if they do not determine it requires Prior Approval within the first 28 days then consent is given by default.Is that why it is called a 28 day notice?
They have 4 weeks to tell you whether Prior Approval is required. If within the 4 weeks they say they are going to assess the application for Prior Approval then they have up to 56 days to determine it.But 28 days is only 4 weeks isn't it?
Sorry, not trying to be an arse just don't see where the 8 weeks comes from even though they insisted on 8 weeks for mine.
