Historical activity at this location
1 nearby application on record - archival context, not part of the live application.
Warrington is faster than most councils at deciding householder applications, ranking #72 out of 296. Only 29% of applications have the time limit extended, well below the 41% national average - the council usually decides on time. Warrington is also one of the strictest councils - it refuses more householder applications than almost any other, with only 80% approved vs 90% nationally.
