The process from here
The published feed does not show a live status for this application, which usually means the council register holds more recent detail than the copy PlanIndex receives.
The council portal linked on this page carries the authoritative version, including the documents, any consultation deadline and the decision once made. PlanIndex refreshes its copy of the register on a daily cycle.
About telecoms applications
How this application type works
Telecommunications applications cover masts, antennas and cabinets, most of which come forward as prior approval cases under permitted development rules. The council typically has 56 days to consider siting and appearance only. The need for the network itself is treated as established, so objections carry most weight where they address visual impact or siting.
