Decision outlook
Plota predicts a decision around 9 Oct 2026, from recent full applications across the UK.
Day 59, past the statutory target. 81% of full applications in Preston are decided within thirteen weeks, which runs to 10 Nov 2026; extensions of time are common, and the council need not decide on the day. Last seen undecided on 8 Oct 2026.
Plota live figures for full applications decided across the UK in the last twelve months, from validation; too few recent full applications in Preston to go on. Preston decision record →
