This application is with South Cambridgeshire for determination, against a statutory target of eight weeks. Over the last year South Cambridgeshire decided reserved matters applications in a median of 152 days. More in our guide to how long planning decisions take.
About reserved matters applications
A reserved matters application fills in the detail held back from an earlier outline permission, judged against that permission rather than the principle of development. More in our guide to planning application types.
