The process from here
This application is with Wandsworth for determination. The council publicises it, consults neighbours and technical bodies where required, and weighs the responses against local and national planning policy.
The statutory target is eight weeks for most applications and thirteen for major development, though extensions of time are common. Comments carry most weight while the case is undecided, so check the council portal for the deadline if you want to respond.
About heritage and listed buildings applications
How this application type works
Heritage applications concern listed buildings and conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for works, inside or out, that affect the special interest of a listed building, and carrying out such works without consent is a criminal offence. The council weighs harm to the heritage asset against any public benefit of the proposal.

Listed Building Consent is sought for a limited, conservation-led programme of investigative and enabling works to Diprose Chapel, a Grade II listed building forming part of the former St Clement Danes Holborn Estate Almshouses. The proposed works comprise opening-up, removal of later non-historic fabric, and localised investigation undertaken solely to understand the building???s construction, condition, and causes of deterioration, and to arrest ongoing decay. No new use, extension, alteration to external elevations, or permanent reconfiguration is proposed. The scope includes: Opening up of a blocked historic fireplace by removal of later infill materials only. Removal of non-historic suspended and plasterboard ceilings to permit inspection of roof structure and fabric. Removal of later twentieth-century partitions, linings, fittings, sanitaryware, and kitchen elements of no historic significance. Formation of small, localised floor test pits to inspect slab build-up and foundations. Localised opening-up around roof timbers and valleys to investigate areas affected by water ingress. Emergency stabilisation and like-for-like repair to roofs, valleys, and rainwater goods where required to prevent further deterioration. All works are reversible, investigative, and proportionate, confined to fabric of low or neutral significance, and do not involve the removal of any original historic fabric. The proposals will better reveal the significance of the listed building and establish a robust evidential baseline for future conservation.
