Nearby activity
Wakefield is slower than most councils at deciding householder applications, ranking #223 out of 296. The council extends the time limit on 56% of applications - one of the highest rates in England. Expect your application to take longer than the standard deadline. Householder applications are slightly more likely to be approved here (95%) than the national average (90%).
