How to monitor your planning application on the register
Progress of applications can be monitored. For each application record the following dates are shown
Date received
The date the application was received by the council.
Statutory start date
This is the same as the date received where the application, as originally submitted to us, is considered to be valid. When the application as originally submitted to us is not considered to be valid and further information is required the start date is the date on which the further information requested is received by us.
Statutory expiry date
This is the date after which the applicant can appeal to the planning inspectorate for a decision on the application if the council has not issued its decision.
Consultation start date
This is the date the application was received and included in the applications register.
Consultation end date
This is the deadline for receipt of comments in response to consultation actions carried out by the publication of the application in this register, neighbour consultation letters, press notices, site notices and any subsequent re consultation that might be carried out. This date will be a minimum of 21 days from the date received. This date will change to reflect the expiry date of the last consultation action carried out. A decision will not be made on the application before this date. Comments received after this date but before the decision is made will still be taken into account in making the decision.
Press notice date
This is the date of the publication of the press notice in the local newspaper Southwark News. Not all applications need a press notice. The need for a press notice is determined by statutory requirements and the council’s consultation policy.
Site notice date
This is the date on which the site notice was displayed on or near the site to which the application relates. Not all applications need a site notice. The need for a site notice is determined by statutory requirements and the council’s consultation policy.
Target decision date
This is the date by which it is hoped the case officer dealing will be in a position to make a recommendation on the application. This date is subject to change and is not an undertaking given by the council that a decision will be made on that date.
Expected decision level
This is the expected level at which the decision will be made. If it is delegated the decision will be made by officers of the council. If the decision is to be made by councillors this will be shown as either planning committee or the appropriate community council. The expected decision level is subject to change depending on a number of factors. These include the number of objections received, certain planning policy issues and the recommended decision.
Committee meeting date
This is the date of the meeting that will decide the application. The applicant and anyone who has submitted comments on the application will be notified of the date , time and venue for the meeting.
