The time it takes to get a response from the council after submitting a form varies depending on the type of submission. Here's a quick summary:
| Submission Type | Acknowledgment Time | Response Time |
|---|---|---|
| Planning application | Not specified | 21-day consultation period for comments followed by further processing |
| Stage 1 complaint | Within 5 working days | Within 10 working days |
| Freedom of Information request | Not specified | Within 20 working days |
| Petition submission | Within 10 working days | Response times not specified |
For planning applications, the acknowledgment is dependent on the consultation period for comments which doesn't specify an initial response time. For complaints and petitions, you can expect a quicker acknowledgment and response. It’s always good to check the relevant section of the council website for any updates or specific timelines related to your submission.
