Important details
Decision outlook
Day 205, past the statutory target. 97% of prior approvals in Halton are decided within thirteen weeks; extensions of time are common, and the council need not decide on the day. Last seen undecided on 2 Sept 2026.
Plota live figures for prior approvals decided across the UK in the last twelve months, from validation; too few recent prior approvals in Halton to go on. Halton decision record →
