Decision outlook
Plota predicted a decision around 13 Sept 2026; it is now day 129.
Day 129, past the statutory target. 89% of full applications in Hackney are decided within thirteen weeks; extensions of time are common, and the council need not decide on the day. Last seen undecided on 24 Aug 2026.
Plota live figures for full applications decided across the UK in the last twelve months, from validation; too few recent full applications in Hackney to go on. Hackney decision record →
Site constraints 3
Checked on 11 September 2026. Historic England, the Environment Agency, Natural England and council datasets, Open Government Licence. A boundary can run through a site and the council holds the definitive record: confirm with the council before relying on this.
