It depends on which application you mean. Hull says planning applications usually take 8 weeks for non-major applications and 13 weeks for major applications, while some other applications have different timescales.
| Application type | Typical time |
|---|---|
| Planning application, non-major | 8 weeks |
| Planning application, major | 13 weeks |
| Planning pre-application advice | within 28 days |
| HMO online application | 30 to 45 minutes |
| Blue Badge badge issue after success | minimum of ten working days, sometimes up to 14 days |
| Adoption Support Fund application | up to 5 working days for a decision |
If you meant a planning application, Hull also notes it can take longer if revisions or legal agreements are needed.
