What happens after I get planning permission?
You’ll know if you’ve obtained planning permission for your development, because the relevant planning authority will send you a letter notifying you of its decision. Once this has occurred, the planning permission applies to the land, not the owner.
What happens after a planning application is submitted?
The application is then passed to a planning officer. They will consider factors such as policy, location, neighbour impact, consultee comments, design and wider impact. This process takes between 8 and 13 weeks, depending on application type.

Councils are supposed to determine all non-major planning applications within eight weeks, but to speed this process up further, the Government is considering a proposal to allow applications to be processed by an “approved provider”, which might mean the job can get done more quickly.
Why does planning permission take so long?
If the problem wasn’t caused by an incomplete application or unsatisfactory planning application maps and drawings, the most likely reason for the delay is that consultees have taken longer than expected.
