Clarification requested 11 March 2026

Thank you for your recent FOI request.  I have been asked by the Planning Department for clarification on your request.  Please see below:

• Do you require a list of applications which were determined outside the 26-week period regardless of whether there was an Extension of Time?  The top half of the request would lead me to believe they were only requesting those which did not have an EOT, but the requested columns include point 10‘EOT in writing (Y/N)’.

Once we receive clarification from you, we can proceed to gather the requested data.  If we do not hear from you within three months of the date of this email, we will consider your request closed.
