   Shetland Islands took a median of 60 days over the applications it decided in the last year.

This application is with Shetland Islands for determination, against a statutory target of eight weeks. Over the last year Shetland Islands decided prior approval applications in a median of 27 days. More in our guide to how long planning decisions take.

Prior approval applies where permitted development rights already grant the principle of the work, leaving the council only the specific matters the rules name, commonly within 56 days. More in our guide to planning application types.
