How often do LPA's ignore the 8-week statutory time limit defined in article 34?

[Alan Ambrose]

It seem to be a policy at my LPA. I'm interested in other's experience and other LPA's.

Ignored, or not met by mine all the time.

[PNAmble]

Ignored in Northumberland.

ignored. our useless shower take 5 weeks to acknowledge an application meaning from the date you pay the application its a minimum of 4 months.

[Tetrarch]

Mine was finally granted (thank God) yesterday - exactly on day 56

 

So some are following the rules

Our planning took 11 weeks but the warrant took 8 instead of the 12.

As @Tetrarch, mine came through on day 56, after a last minute flurry of activity!

OK so, that sounds a bit like a 50/50 split. Oh to live in a place that takes 8 weeks.

 

The longest here that I've seen (and I have not been looking much) is 54 weeks for something very ordinary and bound to get PP.

Mind you, that 8 weeks for approval is after:

 

Feb-21  - Application 1 - Refused (day 56)

 

Jun-21 - Appication #2 - Refused (day 56)

 

Oct-21 - Appeal - Refused (Nov-22)

 

Apr-23 - PD Application - Granted (May-23)

 

Jul-23 - Application #3 - Granted (day 56)

Looks like you're getting the hang of it then . Or maybe the LPA has figured that you were not going to give up...
