Crawley is one of the slowest councils in England for householder decisions, ranking #288 out of 296. The council extends the time limit on 73% of applications - one of the highest rates in England. Expect your application to take longer than the standard deadline. Crawley is also one of the strictest councils - it refuses more householder applications than almost any other, with only 82% approved vs 90% nationally.
