Havering says the decision time depends on what you’re applying for. For planning, it’s usually 8 weeks for smaller applications and 13 weeks for larger developments; for Blue Badge applications, it’s usually within 12 weeks if all documents are in order.
| Service | Decision time |
|---|---|
| Planning application, smaller applications | Usually 8 weeks |
| Planning application, larger developments | Usually 13 weeks |
| Blue Badge application | Usually within 12 weeks of receipt, if all supporting documents are provided |
| Blue Badge correspondence | Normally within 8 weeks of receipt |
| Housing tenancy decision | Up to 28 days |
If you meant a different service, Havering’s records have a separate timescale for that too.
