   Awaiting decision

   Decision expected by 12 October 2026, 8 weeks from validation under the statutory target for most applications. Extensions of time are common and are agreed case by case.

   Cherwell took a median of 59 days over the applications it decided in the last year.

This application is with Cherwell for determination, against a statutory target of eight weeks. Over the last year Cherwell decided telecoms applications in a median of 28 days. More in our guide to how long planning decisions take.

Telecoms applications cover masts, antennas and cabinets, usually as prior approval cases where the council considers siting and appearance only. More in our guide to planning application types.
