LDC - timeframe

[Cresswelle]

Does an application for a lawful development certificate take the same amount of time as a PP application does anyone know?

 

My architect submitted it on the 6th October and it’s still not even showing on the portal? 
 

Thanks

Not sure they always appear on the portal? 

Did they get a confirmation letter from the local authority validating the application and confirming timescales?

Not sure tbh but I got the request to pay the fee so know it’s definitely been submitted.

Similarly to HH applications, LDC applications can also take up to 8 weeks to be determined.

 

Again and similarly to HH applications, LDC applications would be uploaded to your Council’s website and not the (Planning) Portal.

 

Your LPA may be experiencing a backlog with the formal registration and validation of applications. As your architect submitted the application, ask them for an update. If the application was submitted (and deemed valid) on the date of submission, then the 8 weeks starts from then and ‘not’ once the application has been uploaded.

Thank you. Sounds like I’m being impatient. 
 

I’ll give it a few more weeks and ask my architect to Chase it. Thanks for the responses
