* Planning authorities have a two month period in which to determine planning applications, extended to four months in the case of Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) development (unless an extension to that timescale is agreed by the applicant and planning authority).
Decisions are made in line with the development plan for the area and national policies. Each appeal is considered on its own merits.
