What happens while it is decided

This application is with Southwark for determination, against a statutory target of eight weeks. Over the last year Southwark decided advertisement consent applications in a median of 55 days. More in our guide to how long planning decisions take.

About advertisement consent applications

Advertisement consent is judged on two things only: amenity and public safety, not competition or other planning considerations. More in our guide to planning application types.
