Decision outlook
Day 424, past the statutory target. 94% of eia screening and scoping opinions in Colchester are decided within thirteen weeks; extensions of time are common, and the council need not decide on the day. Last seen undecided on 1 Nov 2026.
Plota live figures for eia screening and scoping opinions decided across the UK in the last twelve months, from validation; too few recent eia screening and scoping opinions in Colchester to go on. Colchester decision record →
