   Awaiting decision

   Decision expected by 13 October 2026, 8 weeks from validation under the statutory target for most applications. Extensions of time are common and are agreed case by case.

   Exmoor National Park took a median of 44 days over the applications it decided in the last year.

This application is with Exmoor National Park 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.

This application sits outside the common categories, which can include county matters such as minerals and waste, works by statutory undertakers, demolition notifications and other less frequent procedures. The council record linked below sets out the specific procedure that applies, and the description above is taken directly from the published register.
