   East Hertfordshire took a median of 83 days over the applications it decided in the last year.

This application is with East Hertfordshire for determination, against a statutory target of eight weeks. Over the last year East Hertfordshire's median decision took 83 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.
