   Decision expected by 18 November 2026, 8 weeks from validation under the statutory target for most applications. Extensions of time are common and are agreed case by case.

   Wakefield took a median of 79 days over the applications it decided in the last year.

This application is with Wakefield for determination, against a statutory target of eight weeks. Over the last year Wakefield decided heritage and listed building applications in a median of 130 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.
