The process from here
This application is with Carmarthenshire for determination. The council publicises it, consults neighbours and technical bodies where required, and weighs the responses against local and national planning policy.
The statutory target is eight weeks for most applications and thirteen for major development, though extensions of time are common. Comments carry most weight while the case is undecided, so check the council portal for the deadline if you want to respond.
About this record
Reading the register
This page mirrors an entry on the statutory planning register that Carmarthenshire is required to keep. The published feed for this record does not state which type of application it is, which is common for older entries and for some council systems; the register entry on the council portal will say, alongside the case officer and any consultation dates.
Every planning application follows the same broad path: submission, validation, publicity, then a decision by officers or committee. Our guide to planning application types explains the common types and what each can approve.

81% historically approved · decision due ~21 Jul
Two windows, located on the front and rear elevations, were replaced due to significant rot and deterioration of the original frames. The replacements were carried out on a like-for-like basis using timber windows manufactured by Willow Joinery, matching the design, proportions and appearance of the originals. Listed Building Consent was not obtained prior to the works being undertaken, and this application is therefore submitted retrospectively to regularise the replacement of the windows
