Oxford is slower than most councils at deciding householder applications, ranking #247 out of 292. The council extends the time limit on 55% of applications - one of the highest rates in England. Expect your application to take longer than the standard deadline. Householder applications are slightly less likely to be approved here (87%) than the national average (90%).
