   Awaiting decision

   Decision expected by 12 October 2026, 8 weeks from validation under the statutory target for most applications. Extensions of time are common and are agreed case by case.

   Wolverhampton took a median of 51 days over the applications it decided in the last year.

This application is with Wolverhampton 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.

A lawful development certificate is a legal determination, not a planning judgement. It asks the council to confirm either that existing use or works are lawful, often through the passage of time, or that a proposal would not need planning permission at all. The applicant must prove the facts; the merits of the scheme are not considered.

  On the hard standing courtyard that forms the central part of the NAC site we want to erect a temporary marquee to enable activities to happen in a COVID-safe manner outdoors but under canvas for summer 2021 and in subsequent years. The activities are part of NAC's ongoing charitable mission to provide cultural opportunities for the community of Wolverhampton to enjoy a wide range of events, classes and exhibitions etc. This project has been supported by a wide range of partners who see it as an urgent and necessary response to the COVID-19 ongoing pandemic - these include: Arts Council England, Children In Need, The Paul Hamlyn Charitable Foundation and Wolverhampton City Council. The site is jointly owned by Wolverhampton City Council and City of Wolverhampton College. Both have been consulted about this development and are positive about its potential to contribute to the city's post-COVID recovery. The marquee will be in place between May - September 2021 and will be removed and stored onsite for the winter months. Activities planned for this temporary structure from May-September 2021 include: creative activities for children and families during the summer holidays; rehearsals for young people's creative groups such as Wolverhampton Music Service and Stagecoach Wolverhampton. Live events such as a children's theatre festival and one-day folk festival.
