   Awaiting decision

   Decision expected by 30 September 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. 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.

Heritage applications concern listed buildings and conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for works, inside or out, that affect the special interest of a listed building, and carrying out such works without consent is a criminal offence. The council weighs harm to the heritage asset against any public benefit of the proposal.
