   Awaiting decision

   Decision expected by 19 August 2025, 8 weeks from validation under the statutory target for most applications. Extensions of time are common and are agreed case by case.

   Torfaen took a median of 55 days over the applications it decided in the last year.

This application is with Torfaen for determination, against a statutory target of eight weeks. Over the last year Torfaen's median decision took 55 days. More in our guide to how long planning decisions take.

Listed building consent is needed for works that affect the special interest of a listed building, and carrying out such works without it is a criminal offence. More in our guide to planning application types.
