What happens while it is decided

This application is with Cardiff for determination, against a statutory target of eight weeks. Over the last year Cardiff decided heritage and listed building applications in a median of 114 days. More in our guide to how long planning decisions take.

About heritage and listed building applications

Listed building consent is needed for works that affect the special interest of a listed building, and carrying out such works without it is a criminal offence. More in our guide to planning application types.
