   Awaiting decision

   Decision expected by 30 November 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 57 days over the applications it decided in the last year.

This application is with Reading for determination, against a statutory target of eight weeks. Over the last year Reading decided lawful development applications in a median of 64 days. More in our guide to how long planning decisions take.

A lawful development certificate is a legal determination that existing or proposed works do not need planning permission; the merits of the scheme are not considered. More in our guide to planning application types.
