   Decision expected by 10 November 2026, 8 weeks from validation under the statutory target for most applications. Extensions of time are common and are agreed case by case.

   County Durham took a median of 58 days over the applications it decided in the last year.

This application is with County Durham for determination, against a statutory target of eight weeks. Over the last year County Durham decided reserved matters applications in a median of 126 days. More in our guide to how long planning decisions take.

A reserved matters application fills in the detail held back from an earlier outline permission, judged against that permission rather than the principle of development. More in our guide to planning application types.
