Decision outlook
Plota predicted a decision around 14 Sept 2026; it is now day 68.
Day 68, past the statutory target. 97% of lawful development certificates in Eastbourne are decided within thirteen weeks, which runs to 7 Oct 2026; 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 lawful development certificates decided across the UK in the last twelve months, from validation; too few recent lawful development certificates in Eastbourne to go on. Eastbourne decision record →
