Frequently asked questions

How long does Medway Council take to decide a planning application?
Across the 898 applications Medway Council decided in the last 12 months, the median time from validation to decision was 53 days, and 85% were decided within 8 weeks. The UK median over the same period is 51 days.
What proportion of planning applications does Medway Council approve?

Where does this planning application data come from?
Every application on this page comes from Medway Council's public planning register (publicaccess1.medway.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 Medway Council's register every day and adds new applications, status changes and decisions as the council publishes them. The register was last checked on 14 Sept 2026.
Where can I see the plans and documents for an application?
Plans, drawings and officer reports are held on Medway 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.
