   Awaiting decision

   Decision expected by 17 August 2026, 8 weeks from validation under the statutory target for most applications. Extensions of time are common and are agreed case by case.

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

This application is with Reading 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.

A full application seeks permission for a complete, detailed proposal in one go: siting, design, access and landscaping are all fixed at this stage. It is the standard route for new buildings, conversions and changes of use. The statutory target is eight weeks for smaller schemes and thirteen weeks for major development, though complex cases often take longer by agreement.
