The approval time for an environmental permit in Durham is generally between three to four months from the submission of a correctly completed application, depending on the type of permit. The council aims to ensure that each application is duly made within 14 days of receipt.
Here's a quick overview:
| Step | Timeframe |
|---|---|
| Acknowledgment of application | Within 14 days |
| Processing of application | Within 3 to 4 months |
If you have not heard from the council within 14 days, it’s a good idea to contact Pollution Control for an update. You can find more information and apply for a permit here.
