This application is with Worthing for determination, against a statutory target of eight weeks. Over the last year Worthing's median decision took 58 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.
