Read from the description, not a valuation. How we read the register
Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.

Change of use for Southridge House from a domestic dwelling associated with the wider RSPCA Animal Centre to an administration office and volunteer restroom, including the conversion of the existing garage to habitable space to include a replacement roof, doors and windows. The existing rear workshop is to be demolished and rebuilt in matching materials.

The process from here
This application is with Hertsmere 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 full applications applications
How this application type works
A full application seeks permission for a complete, detailed proposal in one go: siting, design, access and landscaping are all fixed at this stage. It is the standard route for new buildings, conversions and changes of use. The statutory target is eight weeks for smaller schemes and thirteen weeks for major development, though complex cases often take longer by agreement.
