The application process time varies depending on the type of application you're submitting. Here's a summary based on available council records:
| Application Type | Typical Processing Time |
|---|---|
| Planning Permission | Often longer than the statutory 8 or 13 weeks due to high volumes of applications. |
| Caravan Site Licence | Processed as soon as possible; site can operate while the application is being processed. |
| Gambling Premises Licence | Aim to respond within 10 working days. |
Please keep in mind that for planning permission specifically, delays may occur due to high demand, so it’s always good to check the status of your application online through Guildford's website. If you need to submit an application, you can start your planning application here.
