Frequently asked questions

How long does Lewes District Council take to decide a planning application?
Across the 408 applications Lewes District Council decided in the last 12 months, the median time from validation to decision was 51 days, and 71% were decided within 8 weeks. The UK median over the same period is 52 days.
What proportion of planning applications does Lewes District Council approve?
92% of the applications Lewes District Council decided in the last 12 months were approved. Withdrawn applications are not counted as decisions.
Where does this planning application data come from?
Every application on this page comes from Lewes District Council's public planning register (planningpa.lewes-eastbourne.gov.uk). Plota collects it, adds a map location and a category, and links each record back to the council's own entry, which is the authoritative version.
How often is this page updated?
Plota checks Lewes District Council's register every day and adds new applications, status changes and decisions as the council publishes them. The register was last checked on 7 Oct 2026.
Where can I see the plans and documents for an application?
Plans, drawings and officer reports are held on Lewes District Council's own website. Where the council publishes a document list, it appears on the application's page here with each item linking to the council's copy; otherwise the "View original council record" link on every application opens the council's entry.

About this data

Plota holds 577 current planning applications from Lewes District Council, received since 13 Oct 2024, 124 of them in the last 90 days. Behind them, the Plota archive holds 9,684 earlier applications from Lewes District Council, 2016 to 2025, searchable by location and keyword. Current records are collected from the council's public register at planningpa.lewes-eastbourne.gov.uk and checked every day; the last check was on 7 Oct 2026. Each record carries the council's reference, address, proposal, dates, status and decision, with a map location and Plota's classification by type and procedure added. The council's own record is the authoritative version; every entry here links to it.

Heads up: Lewes hasn't published a new application since 29 Sept 2026 - 9 days ago. We've been checking daily and will surface new applications as soon as they appear on the council's portal.
