   Awaiting decision

   Decision expected by 20 November 2026, 8 weeks from validation under the statutory target for most applications. Extensions of time are common and are agreed case by case.

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

This application is with North Devon for determination, against a statutory target of eight weeks. Over the last year North Devon decided heritage and listed building applications in a median of 64 days. More in our guide to how long planning decisions take.

Listed building consent is needed for works that affect the special interest of a listed building, and carrying out such works without it is a criminal offence. More in our guide to planning application types.
