   Awaiting decision

   Decision expected by 26 May 2026, 8 weeks from validation under the statutory target for most applications. Extensions of time are common and are agreed case by case.

   Horsham took a median of 56 days over the applications it decided in the last year.

This application is with Horsham for determination, against a statutory target of eight weeks. Over the last year Horsham decided telecoms applications in a median of 27 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.
