   Sunderland took a median of 74 days over the applications it decided in the last year.

This application is with Sunderland for determination, against a statutory target of eight weeks. Over the last year Sunderland's median decision took 74 days. More in our guide to how long planning decisions take.

An amendment application makes limited changes to a permission that already exists; anything beyond modest adjustment needs a fresh application. More in our guide to planning application types.
