Important details
Decision outlook
Day 62, past the statutory target. 97% of prior approvals in BCP are decided within thirteen weeks, which runs to 13 Oct 2026; extensions of time are common, and the council need not decide on the day. Last seen undecided on 6 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 BCP to go on. BCP decision record →
