   Awaiting decision

   Decision expected by 12 November 2021, 8 weeks from validation under the statutory target for most applications. Extensions of time are common and are agreed case by case.

   Hyndburn took a median of 52 days over the applications it decided in the last year.

This application is at appeal, which passes the decision from Hyndburn to the planning inspectorate, and the outcome will replace the council's decision. More in our guide to what happens after a planning decision.

An outline application tests the principle of developing a site, holding back details such as appearance and landscaping as reserved matters for later approval. More in our guide to planning application types.
